Basic Information

The Walther PPS (Police Pistol Slim) is a semi-automatic pistol made in Germany by Walther Sportwaffen. It was first shown in 2007 and is a slim polymer framed weapon of similar size to the Walther PPK. The 9mm version is to feature magazines of 6, 7, and 8 round lengths so the shooter can customize the grip to their hand size and concealment needs.



It will feature a partially cocked striker system like the Walther P99 Quick Action model. This particular variant is called QuickSafe and the primary change from QA is that removing the pistol's backstrap will disable the gun for safe storage.
