I've been on the fence, always liked the PPS and they are inexpensive from several dealers right now. I too have been going shield V1 for a while and while I shoot it well I know the PPS would be an upgrade. Might be my next purchase.

The PPS is the unknown gem of the subcompact world. It predates most other offerings and has always been a fine pistol.

I like my PPS M2 better than the Shield 9 I use to have.

I was an early adopter of the PPS platform, and recall having to swat the staff of the LGS away from my pistol when I went to pick it up as it was such a novelty back then, with its super flat design. The PPS M1 has been a safe, accurate and dependable companion for many a weary mile and have no doubt you will have the same experience with your new one.

Love my pps m2, but the 6 round mag is just useless to me. Very much prefer the 7 round.

The PPS M2 would be a good value for $500, it is extremely well made, reliable, accurate, etc. At current prices I’d say it is probably the best purchase in the concealed carry market.
I have three of them, one to carry, one to practice with, and a spare. For $270 I’m tempted to pick up another. |

Another 150 through it today.
No malfunctions. No more brass to the face. More magazines ordered. |

I took some work people to the range.
The 4'10" nurse who previously said she couldn't shoot anything "bigger' than her Sig .380 loved it. She also said previously she hated Glocks but LOVED my G17 in a Micro Roni.  Attached File |

I was watching MrGunsandGear review of the PPS M2 and he mentioned that the slide is designed not to lock back on the last round.
Is this anyone else's experience? |

Waiting for PSA to run them on sale again. If their Columbia retail store will price match the "No, PSA, no!!!" price then I'll use the S&W rebate prepaid debit cards against the cost.
 That would be cool to walk out the door with a new Walther for around $165.

The PPS M2 is my first pistol (also this is my first post). I love everything about it. I have quite a bit of experience shooting just never personally owned a pistol. I go to the range weekly with a buddy and he lets me shoot his various pistols and I let him shoot my ARs and precision rifles. All of that being said here a few of my observations:
Magazines: The 6 rounder is great for carry but basically worthless (for me) at the range as it doesn't allow for a full grip. Still non-the-less if you are going to carry with it you better practice with it so I do. I invested in a few 8 round magazines to have a more desirable grip while at the range. Rounds: After about 500 rounds I have settled on 124 gr as it seems to perform the best for me. I usually use American Eagle if I am going to the range. As someone stated above the 115 gr caused a few spent casings hitting me in the head or on the side. I am a lefty so this issue is amplified. This brings me to my next point... Slide release: Not having ambidextrous slide release on this thing really bugs me being left handed. I don't have much issue with the mag release as I am able to quickly and efficiently change after some adjustments. The slide release I just have trouble with for some reason. This gun is easy enough to operate and clean. I have had no issues or malfunctions to speak of and really enjoy shooting it. Only thing I have added to it are some Talon grips to allow better traction when reaching for that slide release and helps with the way I maneuver my hands for a mag change. My .02. |

Yesterday's "No PSA! No!" daily ad again listed the PPS M2 for $269 did not notice if free shipping or not.
The downside to that great price is that spare mags are pricey. You might find online vendors knocking down a couple of dollars but still...

Update on my PPS M2 - I have developed an issue that sounds like is not common, but also not uncommon... I am having issues with the beaver tail on the left side of the frame rubbing/hitting my first knuckle on my thumb (where thumb meets hand). This wasn't too bad at first and I tried changing my grip, but nothing seems to help. I noticed when compared to my various other carry guns that the PPS has a slightly wider and squared off frame which causes the issue. I think the only solution would be to take a Dremel to it or use some heat to mold it. I don't think I will do this though, I don't want to compromise anything (including resale value). Anybody else run into this issue?

I just picked up a PPS M2 tonight at Academy. They matched PSA and beat it by 5% since there is a PSA down the street. About $270 OTD.

I can’t figure out why the PPSM2 is suddenly so cheap. Bud”s has the 2-magazine standard sight model for $258 at the moment and they are far from the only place. That is Taurus or Ruger budget pistol money. The PPSM2 was a solid buy 2-3 years ago for ~$475. I have three of them already but for $260 I’m really tempted to pick up a couple more for my kids when they get a little older.

After getting disappointed with the lightweight G43, I looked for the heaviest single stack/slim 9mm pistol I could find.
It was the PPS M2. I bought it sight unseen and unfired, and immediately knew it was the pistol I had been looking for for concealed carry. Only thing that I had forgotten after carrying Glocks for so long was the magazine; It's metal and after being exposed to sweat from my undershirt on several trips it started rusting/pitting. A quick trip to Robar for NP3 coating fixed it, but just FYI. I prefer paddle releases though, so if anyone knows where I could find the now-hard-to-find PPS M1.... |

A question for anyone who happens to own both the Walther and S&W Shield, Are they close enough in size to share holsters?
I gave my Shield to my daughter and was going to replace it with another one but I like the looks of the PPS too. I still have several leather holsters for the Shield so being able to recycle them for use with the PPS would make the decision easy. |

Since purchase I have taken the pistol to the range a couple of time and shot only minimal ammo through it.
But yesterday I grabbed a big bag of reloads because yesterday I decided to really wring out this gun. The Blue Bullets 115gr RN with 4.9grains BE-86 Federal 100 small pistol primers COAL 1.100" Oh, yeah.

Just picked up one of these to go with my 4" PPQ & Q5 Match. Off to test fire/break in.
Any suggestion for a holster? ETA: Ran great; not one hiccup. A mag each of 115gr Blazer Brass, 150gr Federal Syntech, 124gr Winchester Ranger +P and several mags of my handload, 147gr Blue Bullet over 3.5gr of CFE Pistol. It was a quick range session but it seemed to shoot a bit to the left. I'll shoot it some more before I try to drift the sight. |

Well after living with this for a short time, I'll probably sell. Size is too close to the PPQ M2 4". I'm not getting a sense that there's more juice (size) for the squeeze (capacity).

I have a m1 that is my go to small carry piece. Its easy to hide, it goes bang every time, it hits where its supposed to, everything a carry piece should be.. It used to be augmented with a p99 for more social gatherings like we had this summer . The p99 Was sent to truck duty this year in favor of a ppq. But for quick easy carry something the pps is my go to

I had mines suppressed and it runs nicely...
best investment was the galloway precision springs it helped with the trigger slap and harsh recoil on mines. I did 20 pound spring rating. https://gallowayprecision.com/guide-rod-assembly-for-walther-pps-pistols |
