I think the PPS could surprise you, performance wise. However, I am not comfortable with dropping those magazines on the concrete floors in our range - I can't help but think the polymer bases aren't very well designed for repetitive hard impacts.
But at an outdoor range, on grass or dirt, I might give the PPS a go, with the 8rd mags. It'd be down two from the other guns in its class, but most of our courses of fire require at least one reload in any case, and the PPS will shoot pretty competitively with larger guns.
