Ah, the single-stack polymer 9mm. I used to wonder what it's for; then I bought a house in Florida. In steamy SW Florida, standard uniform is a Columbia Tamiami fishing shirt and a pair of light shorts, so a lighter, flatter pistol is easier to manage than my standard P2000 AIWB. I've tried the Shield, the Walther PPS, the Glock 43. The original PPS was too square in the grip, trigger was just OK and I didn't care for the paddle mag release. Today I got the updated PPS, the M2. This pistol is virtually the same size as the Shield, the G43 and the old PPS. It is a few ounces heavier.
The M2 is nicely rounded through the grip, has a low-profile button-style mag release and an improved trigger. The trigger face is flat, feels like an Apex Glock trigger. I measured it at 6 lbs. I very much like the striker stud which protrudes enough through the endplate when pressure is applied to the trigger to work as a quasi-Gadget:
With the 6-round mag inserted, the M2 fits as well in the front pants pocket as any of these others. Smacking the pistol while in the pocket did not release the mag.
I shot 150 rounds of 124-147 grain Fed American Eagle, Blazer and Gold Dots at 2" dots today, slow fire, fast fire, no issues. This pistol has the best inherent accuracy of any of the small plastic guns I've fired. The factory sights are very good, but I don't like 3-dot sights and will replace them, although I'll start by Sharpie-ing out the rear dots. I'm sending it off to Tony next week, so holsters should be coming. Looks like a keeper.
