Gun Review: Walther PPS M2 9mm

By Robert Farago

If you want to shoot down a helicopter with a handgun (void where prohibited by law), carry a Walther PPK. James Bond did it in SPECTRE — despite the fact that the timelessly stylish .380 is now built in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Wait. Is it? Unlike the movie’s plot, the whole thing’s a bit of a mystery. One thing’s for sure: Walther’s U.S. division’s on a roll. Ask anyone who’s said how-do-you-do to the PPQ. Will the new Walther PPS M2 sub-compact 9mm bond with American buyers? Glad I asked . . .

Unlike the Bond girls, the Walther PPS M2 is unlikely to inspire obsessive not-to-say onanistic adoration. Despite the gun’s new smoothed-out snout — which removes the option of rail-mounted lights and lasers — the revised PPS is no looker. Like the first-gen Springfield XD, a blocky slide sits atop a blocky frame to create a gun so blocky it could block punts for the NFL. The PPS may not have the world’s tallest bore axis, but it sure looks like it does.
