I've had one for a few years and like it. I think I paid around $400 for mine which I got right after they were introduced.
I tested one briefly, shooting a couple of practical matches, and liked it a lot.
For a striker-fired gun, the trigger was very good.
I think I had a failure to extract - range-brass handload - but no other issues.
Being primarily a 1911 guy, I got a SIG P938 instead, but agree that a PPS for $300 would be a killer deal.

I ended up getting one locally for $317 out the door. Before tax and CO background check was $269.99.

They are some really good guns, I own a p5c and I must saw I’m very happy with the performance.
I've had one for a while -- got it last summer when they ran their $100 rebate, but now it's even cheaper than it was with the rebate!
I've never had a problem. Shoots well and is very controllable even with the smallest magazine. Recommend Talon Grips for better traction. Also recommend getting a +1 magazine spring from Magguts for whichever magazine you'd carry (if you'll carry it). $25 and a few minutes to install, and you gain another round. It's quite nice. I typically use the 8 round magazine, +1 Magguts, +1 chamber -- so 10 rounds of 9mm? I'll take it

Oh! And if you want a defensive laser, you can get a Crimson Trace Laserguard for a good price online. I got mine from Optics Planet on sale for 60% off one day, lucky find, total about $165 I think for the green laser. Activates just by gripping the gun, and the laser is very clear and bright. Makes it quite easy to quickly land hits, especially from compromised firing positions. If you go that route, get a Blade Tech Klipt holster specifically for Crimson Trace. It works great.

I’ve had my PPS-M2 for over 2 years and I probably have over 5K rounds through it. I would highly recommend one of these to anybody who wants a great shooting EDC gun, which probably includes a lot of people. For what you paid for yours, it’s a no-brainer to get one, and you can buy a few extra 8 round factory magazines with the money you’re saving.

I've had a PPS M2 for over a year now and carry it daily. At that price you cannot afford not to buy it.
I've found the PPS M2 to offer superior reliability, ergonomics, shootability all out of proportion to its size, tremendous accuracy for a pistol of this size and a very good trigger.
You won't be sorry... I feel it is currently the best single stack 9 out there.

Additionally (while it's not cheap) Walther is kind of forging ahead by putting out the RMSc Red Dot equipped PPS M2. They're trend setters
You can also pick up the Crimson Trace laser guard for it pretty inexpensively.
PPS rules. I usually carry something larger but this one has backup duty when I have to wear nicer clothes and tuck in my shirt.
FYI, if you ever plan on carrying absolutely discretely with a tucked in shirt, look at the 3 Speed Holster for your PPS. It's great.

The wife has one for her EDC. She loves it. I cant get it away from her long enough to shoot but a few rounds in it myself!
Hi all. I' haven't been here for awhile; been occupied in my home state forum (OKShooters.com) but in my opinion, he PPS M2 is the best SS 9mmm pistol out there. I've owned the Shields, Kahrs, XDs, various Glock 26/43...you name it, but the PPS M2 trumps them all. it really does shoot like a bigger gun, is very ergonomic, and built very well. $300? Oh yeah; all day every day! My G43 now sits in a drawer for the most part.

That’s the cocking indicator on the PPS-M2, and there is practically no chance of accidentally snagging the trigger if I hold my thumb over the back plane of the slide when I (re)holster the pistol. This is a really useful yet overlooked safety feature of the PPS-M2.
