WALTHER USA Model PPS Semi Automatic Pistols
Walther 6 + 1 Round 40 Smith & Wesson w/3.2" Barrel/Black Finish
Walther PPS is short recoil operated, locked breech pistol that uses
modified Browning type locking with tilting barrel. Frame of the gun is
made from impact resistant polymer. Trigger is of double action only type,
striker fired, with pre-cocked striker system, similar to QA system used in
Walther P99 pistols. This system requires a manual recocking (by partial
slide retraction) in the case of misfire. Gun is fitted with automated
trigger safety and firing pin block; additional "storage type" safety is
provided by removable backstrap of the grip; once backstrap is removed, the
firing pin is automatically decocked and gun is blocked until the backstrap
is reinstalled. This patented system is called QuickSafe by Walther. Sights
are low profile, with rear sight adjustable for windage.
