Frequently Asked Questions
Walther PPS .40 S&W for sale
Is the Walther PPS discontinued?
The Walther PPS M2 remains in production and is still actively marketed. Discontinuation announcements from Walther refer to legacy products like the PPK, PPK/S, and PP, not the PPS M2. Check with dealers for current pricing and availability.
What does pps stand for in Walther?
PPS stands for Polizei-Pistole Schmal, meaning "Police Pistol Slim" in German. Walther designed it as a slim, single-stack compact pistol for concealed carry, continuing the tradition of their PP and PPK series.
How does the Walther PPS compare to Glock?
The Walther PPS M2 has better ergonomics and a softer recoil impulse due to its steel subframe, while the Glock 43 is lighter and has a vastly larger aftermarket. Glock's trigger is simpler; the PPS feels more refined. Both are reliable striker-fired carry pistols.
Is the Walther PPS any good?
The Walther PPS M2 is a reliable, accurate compact 9mm striker-fired pistol well-suited for concealed carry. It offers good ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, and manageable recoil. It competes favorably with the Glock 43 and Smith & Wesson Shield, though aftermarket support is more limited.
Does Walther make a 40 caliber pistol?
Yes, Walther has produced .40 S&W pistols, including the PPS, PPQ M2, and PPX models. The PPS 40 S&W and PPQ M2 40 S&W are current offerings. Some variants may be discontinued, but .40 S&W options can still be found through retailers carrying remaining inventory.
Where are Walther PPS guns made?
Walther PPS pistols are manufactured in Germany. Pistols marked with three crowns are made in Arnsberg, Germany; Walther's headquarters and main factory are in Ulm. Check your pistol's markings to confirm the specific origin.
What is the capacity of the Walther PPS 40?
The Walther PPS in .40 S&W comes in three magazine variants: a small floorplate holding six rounds, a medium holding seven, and a large holding eight.
What is the difference between PPS and PPS M2?
The PPS M2 is an updated version of the original PPS featuring a revised trigger system that removes the paddle magazine release in favor of a traditional button release, improved ergonomics, and a slightly redesigned frame. The original PPS was offered in 9mm and .40 S&W, while the M2 is chambered in 9mm.
