Walther PPS M2 LE edition thoughts?

[smspears592]

Hi Ingunowners,

I am very interested in the Walther PPS M2. Would the members who have shot or owned one share their thoughts? Some have suggested the Glock 43, but I don't want to go with the Glock.

Thanks for your time and input.

Steve.

I have a PPS M2 and really like it. The LE version just comes with phosphorus paint on the sights and one more magazine.
In my opinion, the grip and ergonomics of the gun are the best in the compact 9 world. It's a really well made gun and I highly recommend it.

Tagging because I am interested in the PPQ M2. I can probably glean some knowledge on a discussion of the PPS that would transfer.

Big fan of the PPS classic and PPQ. So I would imagine I would love the PPS M2. The LE version is the one to get because the price includes an extra magazine. About $40 difference in price which is about what a mag will run anyway. But really it is a wash.

The PPS shoots like a larger gun. Very accurate little single stack.

I did a write up on mine a few months ago. May help, may not.

I'm also a member of the Walther forum, lots of good information over there about it. There have been reports of the dots falling out on the LE version. Mine is the standard version and I took some florescent paint and touched up the sights the way I wanted them. The sight picture in the review thread is the way I had them to start with. Now the rear are bright yellow and the front if florescent orange instead of green. The sights are quick and easy to line up. The gun shoots like a dream.

Feel free to ask anything you want to know about it or if you want pictures of the inside, measurements, etc. If you ever get to the Richmond area and want to shoot it let me know.

I owned the original PPS and loved it. It always worked. The problem is that when they switched to the M2, the magazines did not interchange (they are expensive). The mag release is now a button too. Also, I do not like the direction where Walther is going. In my opinion, Walther needs to break ties with Umarex, but I highly doubt that will happen.

I love mine. Comfortable to carry, disappears when carried in an IWB holster, shoots like a much larger gun, and more accurate than you are. The trigger is amazing.

I've put close to 400 rounds through mine with zero malfunctions. 115 grain, 124 grain, or 147 grain, hollow point or FMJ. It shoots them all, and shoots them all well. Mine seems to be a hair more accurate with 124 grain, but my preferred carry round is a 147 grain hollow point. Wee talking a 1/2" difference at 10 yards. I'm willing to take that difference.
