The PPS has really come down in price since it was introduced. It has more competition in the form of the S&W Shield, XD-S and the single stack Glock. The trigger on my wife's "first generation" pistol is better than most of the Glocks I have tried, but not as good as a PPQ or a Sig P320. Some owners report that their PPS shoots as well as a full sized 9mm. I can't shoot it that well but that's probably my issue, not Walther's.
