PPS Comparison

[giggitygiggity]

I am interested in getting a pistol that is both reliable, accurate, and easily concealed in shorts and a t-shirt. Does the Walther PPS fit these specifications? Also, if anyone has any pics showing how the PPS stacks up as far as size against other pistols, please post. Also, if anyone has any pics of them concealing the PPS beneath a t-shirt, please post. Thanks.

Mine does that for me, I'll try to remember to post pics of it compared to some other guns after work, you can search threads started by me to find pictures of my PPS carry gear and some of it concealed under a woven shirt, I only wear a T-shirt once in a while and the PPS is the gun I use when I do, generally.

You'll still need a real gunbelt and a good holster, of course.

I'll try to take some photos over the wknd of my PPS, G27 and MP 45c. Of the three, my default carry is the PPS. It fits into the front pocket of cargo pants or baggy shorts. It is easily concealable under t-shirts or polo shirts, which are what I wear most of the time. I'm a big fan of the PPS and found it to be the most comfortable of the three I mention above.

they have articles on about every pocket and near pocket size gun.

I have the PPS in both 9mm and .40s&w. They are very accurate, reliable and easy to carry. I like the trigger better than the trigger on my Kahr's.

It does fit, but the Kahr PM9 is noticeably smaller in all dimensions.

Here's my PPS with a flush-fit magazine, a very good holster* from CrossBreed, and some coins for scale, dime to dollar by size.

Pics with comparison guns will have to wait, I can't brain too good after 12-hour nightshifts.
Next time I don't have the dumb I'll either dig up or make some comparison pictures for you.

A PPS is much, much larger than a PPK, or an LCP, or a Kahr, any of which IMO is a much better choice for a "shorts gun."

A PPS is almost the exact same size as a HK P7. Compact, but nothing like a pocket pistol.

Not the PPK, the PPS is almost the same dimensions although it is different proportions.
