The PPS isn't making news much because none of the paid propaganda writers like the style. It's tall from the trigger to sight line, the rail chops up the look of the dust shield, the scallop on the front of the slide dimishes the look of it projecting force. In terms of being gun art, it's not well balanced. It's as if the special long barrel extension to turn it into a rifle is missing.
A short light trigger on a striker fired gun isn't a good combination - made obvious by the lack of them on the market. To get a short light trigger, the makers install a safety for liability reasons, even if it's against the markets wishes. And like was said, if you don't want to carry it that way, carry off safe.
Now, ask how many do that - striker or hammer, who carries a short single action trigger off safe? 1911? SIG P938? Lots more examples, but it goes back to what striker fired guns have the pin at full cock at all? It is not considered safe. Even the P7 isn't carried that way, and a lot of the newer small hammer fired guns finish the cocking action on the trigger pull - because it's safer.
That is something that has been going on for over 100 years - there are no light SA triggers on the market with no safety. There's a reason for that.
