Walther PPS M2 Review<\/h1>\n

Walther rolled out the original PPS in 2007. In many ways, it was the epitome of the single stack, polymer compact pistol. It had a standard 6 round 9mm magazine (with options for extended seven or eight round magazines), three dot sights, and it was available in either 9mm or .40 S&W versions. The PPS (or PPS Classic as it is now known) sold well. In 2016, Walther rolled out an updated version, the PPS M2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Walther PPS vs PPS M2<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Walther's<\/a>The PPS M2 differs from the PPS Classic in a number of ways. Aside from the obvious redesign of the outside, the PPS M2 does not require a specialized tool for takedown, nor does it have the PPS Classic\u2019s under-mounted rail section for mounting lights or lasers. Walther also did away with the PPS Classic’s paddle-style magazine release and replaced the interchangeable backstraps with a contoured, textured grip on the M2. In addition to this, the magazines are not compatible between the two guns.<\/span><\/p>\n

The change from the Classic to the M2 may have changed the gun’s looks, but the M2 still has all the features you expect in a compact polymer single stack pistol. The PPS M2 retains the options for six, seven,\u00a0 or eight round magazines, and is only available in 9mm. The PPS M2 pistol also has three dot sights like the PPS Classic.\u00a0 The rifling inside the barrel is polygonal<\/a>, versus the traditional lands and grooves in the PPS Classic’s barrel.<\/span><\/p>\n
