Walther created the most iconic single-stack .380 ACP of the 20th century with its PPK, and attempted to do the same thing for the 9 mm Luger in the 21st century with the PPS.

Back in late 2018, Walther Arms issued a safety recall on PPS M2 handguns within certain serial number ranges. Today the company continues to offer owners of affected pistols a free upgrade.
