It has mag/grip ext for range shooting and/or more capacity.... but i have not been abe to try this PPS at a range anywhere - and its not cheap, so i won't buy it unless i try it...a lot.

I did NOT like the LC9 at all. Now the LCP is 100% better! My $.02

Does anyone have more input on the PPS? ...or any other slim compact 9's?

Side note: I REALLY liked the Ruger SR9 in 9mm... has a manual safety also which seems to be getting rarer. Any knowledge of "striker fired" vs. std?

Thanks.
The traditional Walther PP Series are the same weapon with different length barrels and grips.

I prefer revolvers but have and carry both. My standard CCW is the S&W 940-1 and S&W CS9, both in 9MM P.

Then I jump to the S&W 625 and/or S&W 945, both are 45 ACP.

I do have a very slim, striker fired Browning 1910/1955 in 9MM K, that has never had a problem,, but I still don't use it for CCW..

Here is a chart that may help. It has the stats on small autos,, also a couple of my toys..
