LOVED IT!!!

I couldn't believe how well it shot for such a small gun!

250 flawless rounds with only a few failures for the slide to lock back on the last round. Could have been limp wristing towards the end of the session as I don't specifically recall the issue happening when we first started shooting and my buddy didn't have any issues with the slide not wanting to lock back.

I think getting rid of my P238 for it was a great decision and I won't look back.
So glad to have this pistol. Now I just need to get my carry ammo run though it so I can feel comfortable carrying it.

Just too small in my hand and I wasn't very good with it.

How does the size compare? I'd consider the sig 238 to be a true pocket pistol. Would you think that of the PPS?

The PPS is on par with the XDs and the Shield so I personally wouldn't consider it a pocket pistol unless I was wearing some cargo shorts or something. Definitely not in jeans.
I think I love this pistol. For its size it's a very natural feel in the hand and it's almost POA/POI shooting for me.
I had the PPQ before this one and that's a fine pistol too. I think I might be a new Walther loyalist.

Schweet! FWIW, I can't remember the name of it, but the brown-label Real Ale is pretty awesome. Almost has a chocolate taste to it.

Ha, they got real creative with that one. It's their Brown Ale.
