Wow...I'm shocked you remembered that!

I found one just a couple months after that post and purchased it on the spot. It's been my regular carry since then. I love it.

Have to admit, I do love shooting my new Sig just as well, if not better, but the PPS is still my carry choice.

I despise thumb break holsters, but I don't think I can beat this one for carry under a vest while riding while not worrying about losing it during seat dancing sessions.

I do too!! I thought I was the only one who hated them.

What holster is that?

I've discovered that holsters made specifically for the PPS are very rare; however, if you're looking, the Don Hume H721 O.T. #30C, made for a Sig 239, 9mm, fits the PPS like a glove.... and no thumb break!

It's actually a Walther holster, Model 316/TB
Below is the one w/o thumb break Model 315.
They have lots of different ones for the PPS.
And while a holster that fits properly doesn't need a thumb break, and I usually prefer Milt Sparks IWB holsters, for riding all over Hell's half acre wearing a vest, I'm hoping the 316TB is a good, secure, comfortable compromise.

And I haven't ordered it yet.
$49 for either one, so I may end up w/ the 315.
I'm such a girl.

Sure wish I could buy a PPS here in this great state. Heck even the PPK is now off the OK list when I checked yesterday.

Oh yeah them 380 rounds of .40 I turned into the range officer the other day was because in that run some were squibs and the department lost some barrels due to the secound round couldn't get out.

That's why your hand fits without the finger extension magazine.


How's the width in comparison?

To what?

The PPK that you are using for comparison.
