Just another shooter
I have the PPS M2 LE. It is one of my favorite carry guns in 9mm (my Glock 48 being the other favorite). It comes with night sights and three magazines. One mag is flush mounted (6 rounds) and the other two hold an additional one and two rounds. With MagGuts internals, the mag capacities go up to 7, 8, and 9 rounds.

I've owned and carried a pps m2 for about 3 years. It's ok.
Very thin and ergonomic. A little heavier than competitors. Could use another couple rounds capacity. Extra mags are a little pricy. My only complaint is that the mags compose some of the grip and a fast mag change under pressure could be a problem.
Very dependable and comfortable to carry and shoot.
Probably most comparable to Shield.
A friend is an instructor with MSP and he shoots my Walther a little better than his G43.
I think best carried in a single clip kydex iwb.

The bigger grip of a 43X might be the answer. I know it was for me.

I have a PPS. Not a mention yet it is a .380 
The first trigger pull, and weight of gun itself, I prefer many others to it for carry.

Thanks! Tried a 48 which has the same grip, but I just don't shoot Glocks well. Big improvement over the 43, though...
I suck with the 19. Not sure why the X is better for me.
It's a 9mm...I have a PPS. Not a mention yet it is a .380

Different balance due to less slide weight?

You should tell Walther. They think they only made them in. 9mm and a few first gen in 40.

I tested just about every pistol in that class and I carry a PPS M2 when I travel to America.
The only other one I would have chosen above the Walther was the Kimber Micro 9, but I went with the price point suitable to my budget. Spent the savings on Alien Gear holster, ammo, and a Utah permit.

I've had a PPS M1 since 2015 and carry it frequently, probably about 75% of the time. It is reliable and accurate. Easy to carry, as others have said a single clip IWB works well. I carry with the 7 round magazine in the gun in a 7+1 configuration. I carry one or two 8 rounders as reloads. I put Meprolight night sights on and they are true to the original POA/POI. I've fired both 115 and 124 grain ball and 124 grain Gold Dots without issue.
Overall I've been happy with it and have always felt it's the gun a Shield should be...
