Picked up my PPS this past Tuesday, and have put about 600 rounds through it so far without problem.
It carries like a small gun, but shoots like a full-sized gun.
I installed the large backstrap, and fit a LimbSaver grip sleeve over that. Fits my hand and points beautifully. I never shot it without the LimbSaver, so I can't say how much perceived recoil was reduced, but perceived recoil is very low.
The rear sight was slightly right of center out of the box, and not surprisingly the PPS shot slightly to the right. A few taps with a brass punch later, the rear sight is centered, and the gun shoots nicely to center (Edit: on closer perusal, it's shooting slightly left, but closer to center than it was... I may need to tap it 1/3 back to where it started...)
23 yards, 100 rounds from Chapman.
10 yards, 50 rounds FMJ to chest, 7 rounds 124gn GDHP to head. Aim point in chest was slightly below the X.
10 yards, 50 rounds FMJ to chest. Aim point for this one was the high center number 9.
7 yards one-handed, 50 rounds RH to head, 50 rounds LH to chest. Chest aim point was the X. Missed one round to the head, slightly left in the black. Felt myself pull it at the time. Need to work more on my one-handed shooting.
So far, the PPS has been problem-free with a mix of PMC 115gr range ammo, Speer LawMan 124gr FMJ, Hornady Zombie Defense 115gr, and Speer Gold Dot 124gr.
I really like this pistol.
