About the Gun

Designed for concealed carry, the Walther PPS (Police Pistol Slim) is a sub-compact polymer frame semi-automatic pistol with an ultra slim profile. This profile is obtained by the use of a single-stack magazine and Glock-style trigger safety. The PPS comes with an accessory rail and features a loaded chamber indicator located on top of the slide along with a cocking indicator on the rear of the slide. Other features include an integrated accessory rail and interchangeable palmswells. A first edition was also available in this model with an anthracite finish. First edition appears on the left side of slide. This edition sold out during late 2008. About magazine capacity... Genitron.com normally specifies the minimum capacity magazine that ships with a given handgun. In the case of the PPS, Walther specifies three magazine sizes; S,M,L (6,7,8 rounds for 9mm - 5,6,7 rounds for .40SW) but only ships with two of the three sizes. Initially that was an S and M with the L being optional. Now they are shipping with an M and L with the S being optional. Genitron.com is going with what is currently and most commonly shipped, M and L, such that the M size magazine is what is used for specifications and ranking calculations.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.
