Ya think? Looks a bit "chunky" to me. At least from the side profile. It also looks like it will sit tall in your hands. Then again, I'm biased because I've never really been a fan of Walthers and it's not a Glock. I wonder if it's similar in size to the G43/LC9 or smaller like the Kahr PM9?

I look forward to shooting one. ![[thumbsup]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/044.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
Because CCP=FAIL
My PPS with a non Mass trigger is the most reliable hand gun I own. Never misses a beat.

Does the PPS have the problems of the CCP, are they made by Umarex, does it require a tool for breakdown? If not, then it's attractive.
the pps IMHO is the best conceal carry pistol out there, with very good quality like the old ppk's. I don't understand why Walther would focus on this cheesy ergonomics gimmickry instead of going back and building quality pistols. Carl Walther would be rolling in his grave were it not for the PPS. Have you touched one of those junky PK380's? I don't see how anything pulled off the PPQ and added to the PPS could improve it at all.
They should scrap all these new fangled designs and focus on how to move further in the direction the PPS was already moving. Namely, machining, precision, quality, accuracy, etc.

Whats wrong with the PPQ? Walther needs to stop using Umarex, nothing good seems to come out of there.

The PPS beats the shield every day of the week.
I think with all these baby single stack 9mm pistols, it's a matter of opinion on which fits/shoots best you for individual. I've shot a lot of Shields and recently sold my G43. I have quite a few Glocks, but didn't like how big the Glock hump was on the grip of the 43. The Shield recoil impulse is much softer than the G43, but the Shield is a bit bigger and 2oz heavier. I've shot a XDS9 and XDS45 a bunch. The XDS45 has a ton of thump which I was quite surprised about. The XDS9 was nice, but I just didn't fall in love with it.
Oh, I also have a wheel gun in .357 magnum. It's a Smith and Wesson 649 Bodyguard. It was made prior to the whole Bodyguard line came out so it doesn't look like most people think.
It's nice because it can be cocked to shoot single action, but the hammer wont snag when drawn. But it's way too thick and heavy and full load .357 is just a hand full with it.
With all that said, I'm looking forward to the PPS M2. I liked the way the PPQ M2 felt, but just never purchased one as I had no purpose for owning one. Maybe this will be my new EDC?

I'll stick with my 230 Sig. My only bitch about it is the mag release. It should be a push button like all the others.
Stop that silly talk..
euro mag releases are for homosexuals, and homosexual europeans.

Don't knock it till you've tried it - the euro mag release anyway
Too many people have dropped their mag during stressful situations. Quick reloads suck with Euro release, but you certainly won't dump the mag by accident.

Capacity comes with the downside of a longer grip. Makes it harder to pocket carry. If it doesn't fit in a pocket, there's not much point to a gun that size.
I don't believe the sights are better. They both suck.

Just when I was feeling a little butthurt you come by and make me feel better.

No I'm not a pickle smoocher, I don't like the mag release and I don't own any plastic guns.
