MVP, I've now got a few hundred rounds through the gun and wanted to give you an update.
The PPS is effortless to carry. I'm a small guy and I can hide the PPS easily in a good holster (Minotaur MTAC). I've had zero problems with the gun after I did the following:
First, using a Dremel with a felt polishing wheel, I gently polished the cartridge feeding ramp on the underside of the slide. I used either Meguiars or Mothers metal polish - can't remember at the moment which brand it was. The polish was blue in color. Any metal polish should work as long as it's not very abrasive. It took about 5 minutes to polish the ramp to a light shine.
Secondly, I applied the same polish to the slide rails in the frame and racked the slide approximately 75-100 times. Once I cleaned off the polish, the slide rails had very light wear - basically resembling my other pistols that have lots of rounds through them.
The gun still locks up very tight on the rails and is much more accurate than I can shoot. The slide is noticeably smoother in movement after the polish application. I was having trouble with FTE's and the slide not going into battery when I initially acquired the PPS. Those problems are gone and the pistol has fed and fired both cheap plinking ammo and my carry ammo flawlessly.
