New Walther PPS M2 Leaked

Received verification from Casey Craig (Walther) that the magazine release is NOT reversible.

Designed to keep costs down to compete with Glock and Shield. The single stack 9mm market is settling in around $400 - $450 give or take

If it has the PPQ trigger and not the PPS trigger it might be decent.

Nope has the PPS trigger, If it had the PPQ trigger I would have bought it on the spot.

PPS trigger is very similar to the triggers in the other subcompact guns. Best I can figure from my cheapy wheeler trigger pull gauge is that my Glock 26, Shield and PPS all break about 6-6.5 lbs. The reset on the PPS is pretty long but the trigger breaks fairly clean. The shield actually has the lightest trigger but it is kind of mushy. So far as small autos go I would say pick a Glock 26/43, Shield, XDs, Kahr PM9, or Walther PPS and learn to shoot it.

I'm likely not as versed in all of the other compacts as some others here, but after trying one I picked one up. The grip is the best of any compact Ive held, trigger is great, and its easy to control. I agree with Vert that the reset could be a little shorter, but the break is great. Going this weekend to shoot this side by side with a 43, Shield, Kahr. Ive shot them all in the past and feel that I like this the best, but side by side will be a great test.

Still don't understand why Walther has this AND the CCP in their lineup. Can someone please explain that to me? They seem like they fill exactly the same niche.

Because Walther is now owned by Umarex. The parent company is more then happy to whore out the Walther name.

I held them both at the 1500, though not side by side. They do seem very similar, but I don't like the bump out on the trigger guard like the Glock 43 has. It does have the lower rail however, I dont see myself ever using it, but its not bad to have. They do seem like they cannibalize the same market, but are slightly different takes. Not sure about the trigger on the CCP

Went shooting this weekend (amazing weather) and was about to put quite a few rounds through it, and let a few others give it a try (many people were interested). No one brought the Shield, but it was way better than the Kahr in every way, the trigger was slightly better than the 43, and the grip was way better. One of the guys was an IMPD officer who really dislikes single stacks. It didn't change his mind, but he did say this was the first one he's shot that he felt comfortable with, so that was a pretty good review in my book. Note, all of these guys are stock, no work has been done on them.

Just my 2 cents but the new PPS M2 is much better than the CCP. Anyone that have field stripped a CCP will know what that three handed operation is like. Recoil on the PPS is amazingly low for as light as the gun is. I also like being able to change mag capacity by changing the base plates out.

I carry the pps when I'm home and it's great if your not trying to pattern. I don't really see what this would change in the overall picture.

I always liked the PPS trigger, though it was rather ugly IMO. The M2 solved that among other things and now I want one. =(

 

[gglass]

I would love to compare one to my custom Shield.

I already replaced my full-sized M&P's with the PPQ M2 series and do not regret it. I wonder if the PPS M2 would make me replace my Shield as well?

 

[ART338WM]

Doesn't every gun owner!

I'm dreaming of a 10mm M&P, but S&W will never be foolish enough to make that mistake with their M&P line.

I picked one up at the 1500 today and like it.

Did you shoot it yet? If so, please describe. Thanks.

 

[dbrier]

Not yet. I had a first gen PPS and really liked it. This one should shoot the same with slightly better ergonomics.
