I carry the PPS M2 as my EDC. After shooting plenty of the G43, and S+W Shield, with Talon Grips and a 7rd mag for extension, I consistently shoot better groups for longer with the PPS M2. I think it’s the best compact single stack out there.

[@davsny5]

I got the LE with 3 magazines, 6 shot, 7 shot and 8 shot with extended base plate and green night sights. I don't usually modify my grips at 6'1.5" and 185 lbs, even with my girly hands. I loved it, got that PPQ like crisp trigger with a smooth reset. Feels as good, if not better than my beloved Shield 2.0. Had to sell it but will get another. My only complaint is that the left rear sight came off at the range, so it became a 2-dot sight. Walther was great with their warranty, but it's gone now, one of my favorites.

[@KirkChristian]

I have the PPS M2 LE that did indeed come with 6, 7, and 8 round mags... and then bought 2 more 8 rounders. I just like my entire hand on a grip as it feels more stable. It does add a little more length but my little finger hanging off just doesn't have the same stability control.

[@mariuscezar7374]

Walther PPS M2 is the best concealed carry semi-auto available. I love this gun.

[@RedEyePergo]

I consider the PPQ and P99 concealed carry guns as well. And those are both better overall. Never had a problem concealing either of them

[@cadbane1093]

Not since the sig p365 (: (my opinion)

[@JacksonWalter735]

@@cadbane1093 I feel like the Hellcat solidified that even more. The PPS was great when it was released and was my favorite cc single stack 9mm, but it has since been outclassed in my opinion. The Hellcat and P365 are both smaller and thinner while having a much better capacity. The ergonomics, accuracy, and trigger on the PPS M2 made the slightly larger size a decent trade off back in the day, but the Hellcat and the P365 do all of that in a better package now.

[@mattbarton3725]

I have multiple guns around the same size and I like my pps m2 the best it’s a sweet shooter I feel less felt recoil over the glock and shield all greats guns when he says the glock haters I don’t get it I love all guns that work good and are fun to shoot hope everyone is well life is truly good

Hello, I'm a viewer from Portugal and I have been watching your videos for a while. Although guns have less to no culture in my country I have learned to enjoy guns through your videos, although i never shot one. I will be joining the navy this year and I would extremely apreciate if you made a video on the HK G3, since its the standart issue rifle here. Thanks alot for sharing your knowledge and love for guns, life is good.

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

In the U.S there's a $200 USD tax stamp on rifles like the G3 because it is fully automatic, so it's highly unlikely he'll do a video on one. However he has a video on a PTR 91 which I believe is a semi-auto version of the G3

[@ParrotEater]

[@jonathanallen9596]

The PPS is striker fired design perfected ....that indicator connected to the trigger is also a safety. If you keep your thumb over it the trigger is disabled. You can pull as hard as you want it won't go back. So for holstering that is so much better than a Glock.

[@garymoore1687]

I have recently become a gun owner and continue to search for quality information about different types of handguns. Hickok45 has been one of the few channels where honest, mostly unbiased, reviews can be found. Thanks for you taking the time to educate all of us gun owners, especially me.

[@winstonmcse]

please excuse the nosyness---are you the Gary Moore in West Jefferson, NC?

[@Romans724ok]

Greetings Hickok. Love your reviews and apparently my local gun shop does too. I was doing yet another round of "what conceal carry 9mm feels best for me," and the shop had your reviews playing continuously on a big screen. I tried the Shield, XPS, Glock 43, Kimber, Sigs and a couple of Walthers (for the umpteenth time) and reconfirmed that in my short fingered, yet wide hand, the newer Walther grips just feel more right than any of the others. I had tried out the Walther CCP at another shop and thought the feel/ergonomics were amazing, but I thought it was just a bit thick to be my EDC. I had also tried out the original PPS and found the grip to be very different from the newer models- too flat and paddle-like. Today, I laid my hands on the PPS M2 and it was love at first grip. So much so that I bought it on the spot. I got the Limited Edition model that has phosphoric sights and three clips - 6, 7 and 8 round capacity. I thought your viewers should be reminded of the 8 round clip. Thanks for all you do...it was a "very good day."

[@marmot7050]

I own a PPS M2 and love it. Personally I prefer a little heavier gun. Additionally I think the ergonomics of this gun is superior to both the Glock 43 and the Shield although both guns of these are fine firearms. I also really like the trigger on the PPS and the exposed striker which in my mind makes holstering the gun a tad safer.

[@leecox1513]

Yes, but a heavier gun presents a trade-off. IWB guns are for concealed only. A "heavier gun" might be a bit uncomfortable for concealed carry, unless it was carried OWB. I too prefer a larger, heavier pistol, but it is impractible for concealed carry.....for me, that is. Again, the trade-off.

[@Tanjman_]

Hey there hickok, I just wanted to share my appreciation with you and your team working on your channel. I live in Canada and we have a lot more firearm laws and restrictions than the States, but I still manage to get out to the club and shoot and have fun with friends and family for sport. I wanted to say that in a world where people hate 'guns' and don't think that we should have many in the western world, I love that you keep posting these and educating people about certain types and the details of firearms and ammunition. And I think that we need more of that, you are such a good example when you display the safe aspects of shooting. i.e. having a range, hearing protection, eye protection, etc. Educating people on how to be safe, and responsible with these tools that can be used to take away a life. Keep doing what you do, setting a good example for younger people out there interested in firearms. Hopefully educating the public, will reduce the amount of civilian killing, and accidents that happen. Thanks again!!

[@jrccot]

I was deciding on what to get for CC. After watching this video, I went to Pro Shots and tested one of these and a couple more 9mm's and after shooting one of these I knew it was the gun for me. I bought one and have put 100's of rounds through it, I love it. Thanks for the review and great videos.

[@GG_AbelV]

I watched this video 6 years ago when I was looking for my second Walther and his insight is always spot on. So much so I’m watching this video again many many Walthers later.

[@TheAllNighter1980]

I love your videos. I am a former Marine and I haven't shot a gun in years. I recently bought a Walther Creed because I saw a great deal for it. But, I wanted something more concealable and after watching this video I bought a PPS M2. Completely different trigger pulls, but love both of them!!! That PPS has some power behind it!!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

That Creed is probably the best budget 9mm on the market.

[@emak4558]

That “little button there” is also quite useful for controlling the striker during re-holstering. Somewhat unique and quite valued by some, not so much by others. But a feature that should be pointed out as it is functionally different than many / most others.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah you can actually prevent the trigger from being pushed back by any obstruction. It is an excellent safety feature, especially when you consider that most "Glock leg" accidents happen on reholstering.

[@nascardude86]

[@funkyfresh2404]

Thanks! Great job like always. You must have been reading my mind. I ordered my PPS M2 yesterday. I'm still going to keep my Shield 9.

[@danschneider3077]

Ran into one of these last month in a gun shop. I did a double take as it looked like PPS (which I liked except for the disconnect and grip) but was different. Like a PPS had a baby with a PPQ (which I adore). I love this new model, never thought I'd resolve my shield, but it has. Walther is one of the most under appriciated makers of there.

[@Kaspurr84]

It all came down to not being 100% satisfied with my accuracy ability with the Glock 26 I carried for 5 years, what put a nail in the G26 coffin was when I picked up my wifes Ruger LC9 for the first time and put down tighter groups off the bat, so I now carry a PPS M2 and don't look back at the slight capacity difference. Of course I shoot the M2 better than the G26 and LC9 also, I just was not good with the Glock.

[@richardbalboa2810]

RevToTheRedline these little pistols were meant for up close encounters. Unless your shooting skills are godlike like hickok45, you can shoot 80 yards with a 3-inch barrel lol

[@zpstiles1680]

RevToTheRedline I shot this very well up to 30 yards. I would have said the same thing as you did. this is my best gun so far and I don't shoot the glock as well either. Also my glock prints lower when the distance gets to 30. sights would fix it but I love my PPS M2.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I love my PPS. I'm almost as accurate with it as I am with my PPQ, and I'm more accurate with my PPQ than anything else.

[@nikorasu_karasu]

PPS M2 was nice to carry for a few years but I handed her down to a friend in need and decided to pick up a PPQ SC XS. I love it even more than the PPS and it's more lefthanded too.

[@GluttonforPunishment]

The extra few ounce of the PPS is part of why I think it's the best pocket 9mm out there right now. It pays off in shooting the gun for me, less felt recoil making it more tame in my hands. YMMV.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

PPS is the best striker fired single stack on the market. No doubt in my mind.

[@knightshift8714]

Weight can important for all day EDC, really shouldn't mind recoil as it's not like anyone would shoot a whole box in a self defense situation with these type of pistols. But yea if your recoil sensitive it's better to shoot something you're comfortable with not something you're afraid of

[@cloutdoors5674]

At over 21 oz, Definitely not a pocket gun. Sure it may fit but that doesnt mean its a good pocket carry gun

[@dewood9463]

l Love my PPS M2. I love Walther like Hickock loves Glock.

[@naildit3881]

@De Wood me too, i shoot with a friend that owns a glock 17, he had to put an apex trigger in his glock. the factory trigger was horrible, and compared to my ppq m2 tac, id choose my ppq any day he even admitted that he wished he'd have bought a walther instead of his glock. Glock has a big after market supply, where walther has a limited aftermarket, so glock has more opitions and lower costs in the aftermarket world. i have my ppq and now a pps love them both.

[@DJones1861]

I am Walther guy through and through starting with my WWII 1943 P38 service pistol.

[@RedEyePergo]

@@naildit3881 walther doesnt need a big aftermarket because beside maybe getting night sights the gun is perfect as is. Best trigger and ergos of any polymer striker gun

[@AnthonyPerez]

Thumb over the the pin when holstering tells you when your trigger is being pushed and to stop. It was designed to be flush until fired. Glock doesn't have that. Own both. Both are good but it's the small things that I love about the PPS m2.

[@andyostertag]

Right on.. while holstering.. also sits flush when the trigger is ready to go [one in chamber or not]. Recessed when trigger is expired. While contemplating the 9 single stack I rented and shot 50-100 rounds through all 3 of the top contenders [G43, Shield, and PPS M2] This gun one out as best feel and recoil tamer [to me]. Went straight home and ordered one LE version from Buds almost 2 years ago.. Today #2 is on the way. Just because I like two of my favorites. Same with my Glock 30, can't beat that package in 45 either IMHO

Yea it's a great gun I love it as well . The only small problem is that the magazines are really expensive compared to other type of magazines .

[@nlesiak3]

I'd buy this based solely on my PPQ which is the best pistol on earth in my opinion. only down on a walther is the price of mags

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

One workaround is to get the P99 aftermarket mags for a PPQ m1. Also the Canik mags fit as well. There are a couple of aftermarket extended capacity mags that fit as well.

[@wschield608]

Even at 25 yds I have found this to be a very accurate gun. At first I was convinced the gun shot two inches left at 7 yds, that is until a more experienced shooter put four inside an inch before pulling one left two inches. I love both this gun and my PPQ m2, both in 9mm, both excellent shooters.I truly enjoy your videos. The only question I can think of is how far away and how wide is your gong?

[@MrTerrydwilliams]

+hickok45 I dunno. I can't tell the difference as to whether I have my PPS in the holster Crossbreed IWB) or not, unless I feel for it with my hand. I suppose I could if I jumped up and down, but at 77 years, that doesn't happen very often.

[@makeyourbreakthrough9740]

I appreciated the side by side comparison of other options in the category. I think a lot depends on how it feels in the hand. I can easily palm a basketball and the PPS m2 felt the best. Mine sits inside the belt at 6 o'clock at all times except for sleeping and showering. Plus I keep a spare mag in a leather case at 2 o'clock when I can conceal by my sweater or jacket, which is half the year. Hickok45 did a great job on this review.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Good mention on the trigger forward issue for reassembly. I think the trigger bar impacts the firing pin block a bit harder than most pistols do. Actually had to demonstrate this to someone recently in a gun store after they couldn't get it back together. ;-) BTW - Talon has the grip for it now... should you keep it.

[@ironhorse127]

Not a necessary step if you just move the slide enough to take pressure off the disassembly tabs. Has been discussed on the Walther forum. Some of us thought we had a defective gun, until we realized it was operator error. No mention of this in the manual.

For whomever would balk at a few ounces of weight, just ask an Army/Marine infantryman if a little bit of weight-savings is a good thing. I carried my 27oz. Ruger P95 for years, and I was using a good (Don Hume, IWB) holster, which makes all the difference. But now that I'm carrying my 21oz. PPS M2 (in a similar holster), the weight difference, and better concealability is night and day...

[@patrickd2013]

Excellent firearm! Mine is deadly accurate, right out of the box. To correct Mr. Hickok, mine does not need to have the trigger forward to be re-assembled. One point, I bought mine before they were drop safe, so it is subject to recall. I dropped it once, and the hydroshock HP went between my legs. Coulda been bad! The 6 rnd mag is okay for deep conceal, but doesn't fit well in my hand. The 8 rnd mag seems to have just a little slop in my grip. The 7 is just right! I'm 5'10", not 6'10" like our host here. With the 7 rnd mag, the fit to my hand is absolutely perfect. My all time favorite carry!

[@bbell37968]

I wish I were a better natural shooter when it comes to Glocks. I have a G36 and a G41, and I used to have a G19, and if I just pick one up and go bang, it's hit and miss. I have to have regular range time to get and maintain the right feel for shooting them. With some other makes, Beretta and Walther among them, I pick one up and go bang, and I'm a tack driver from the word go; it doesn't seem to matter if I have shot them recently or not, I'm just a natural shooter with them. I don't know if it's the supposed grip angle differences or what, but as much as Hickok45 loves Glocks (for all the good reasons he points out), I remain hesitant about them. For me.

[@psychicbass]

Buck Bell I know what your saying but I am good with glocks but.... others do shoot better like the beretta, sig 2022, ect.. however I just trust Glock more, just my thing..

[@livinthelegacy100]

Just got mine and love it! Won't consider a gun until Hickok reviews it! Thanks fellas

[@seamonie48]

Yes, I have said this before too! ❤️🤍💙

[@kennyvancleave2422]

Who the hell would troll hickok? That would be like trolling your own Dad. Shameful just shameful.

[@billyarnold225]

I laughed out loud to this

[@charlesdeichman5115]

But i troll my own dad all the time. It’s fun

[@abrahamgustavoguitiperez-m2937]

As a veteran (USN 2001-2009 OIF) I own the PPS M2 .40 with extended mag (6 mags total). I love this concealed striker. I believe the sights were designed for people with vision impairment (near sighted). Good thing I wear contacts (bifocals). I also own the Glock 43. I prefer the PPS M2 as my daily carry though. IMO the PPS series is also extremely accurate. I LOVE your reviews. You're a WEAPONS GURU. Thank you for your devoted service in advisement & guidance for self/home/law enforcement weapons Sir.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah the long rails are good for accuracy compared to the tiny Glock chiclet rails. Also the lockup on the PPS is really tight.

[@the8jrfan]

That's a nice PP you have Hickok.

[@TRoAXCLAJXIK]

+the8jrfan came here to say that

[@the8jrfan]

+Don Don perhaps get your mind out of the gutter, clearly I was talking about the gun.

[@davidsonpedro1494]

+Don Don lol,lol,lol.

[@avo420turbo]

+Don Don since u have to be 18 to buy any gun (21 for handgun) i think its ok =D

[@macafromthewired]

+Don Don do you think anyone cares what is family and what isn't? Dude this is KZbin no one does. Because we're all a bunch of inconsiderate losers.

[@camhester4251]

my daughter just went from the Taurus G2C slim to the Walther PPS M2. and man there is a big difference in the feel the sights the rigger the recoil isn't snappy like the Taurus not saying Taurus is a bad weapon but for the money you can't go wrong with the Walther so much more quality , it's just a great little shooter trigger is great recoil is not snappy and it still fits her fitted IWB kydex holster so much more gun with the Walther those Germans sure know how to make a gun i've tried and felt a lot of these edc guns and i'm just really impressed with the Walther PPS M2. and she was looking at the Glock 43X and she and i are glad we checked out the PPS M2. before we went with the Glock not hateing on Glock i just think Walther has the Gock out classed thinking about getting one for myself so impressed , tight groups great trigger love the sights i give it 9 out of 10 and that's because of mag capacity i think they could've should've went with at least 10 round like the 43x , she's very happy with her new gun and she carries concealed with her ccw

[@shaglew6662]

You are not overly obsessing about weight. When carrying anything....Ounces=Pounds, Pounds=Pain. People who don't carry, just can't understand. The LCPs, P238s, Bodyguards sell like wildfire for a reason. Everyone that has carried a firearm for any length of time has 20 different holsters lying around, and 15 belts...all in the name of trying to find that perfect combination of fit and comfort. Carrying a hunk of metal attached to you somewhere, isn't all that much "fun". Anybody looking to start carrying for the first time....every ounce counts.

[@whatfreedom7]

Shag Lew I use to carry a LCP at work and never even noticed it. I switched to the M&P 9c and is still pretty comfortable and not that noticeable.

[@komoto567]

I agree! For anyone who says ounces don't matter, throw 5 extra house keys on your key ring. Always surprising how much the body notices weight and bulkiness changes.

[@ManMan74920]

The Walther 100 Rebate came along and low and behold I obtained my 1st Walther firearm! An awesome pick in 9mm, went for the LE version.

[@ThatPentecostalMusic]

Have both the Glock and Walther. Loving that Walther.

[@ccvee7287]

My wife bought this for her concealed and loves it. I enjoy it as well but need more bullets personally. Its such a clean shot and made very well.

[@Dattinator2501]

You never came to my house to give me that pop quiz. :(

[@cozysouth]

I just bought this pistol for CC. It’s the perfect size for my hand and felt better in the grip than anything else I tried. Great gun!

[@harveygussow8852]

Mr Hickok You assume that WALTHER is inferior to other firearms. You have. convinced me that they are along way from it, Indeed they seem to have all there "Ducks in a row." When they make Guns that they have been for so long. The comfort of the firearm Is very important along with the operation of firearm makes me feel that you have along relationship with this industry more so than myself. Respectfully submitted

[@conner3542]

I've been watching your reviews for a long time. Thanks for doing the work that I can't or don't want to do when it comes to making decisions related to firearm purchases. You're the man.

[@Ashfielder]

An old Webley revolver would be great to see on the channel. I'd appreciate that, but of course, it's up to you. They are quite expensive.

[@Prowbar]

+1 I'd love to see a Mark VI or a maybe even a Enfield Star Mk2!

[@dccmadams44]

The 26 is bulky compared to the pps. Hold both at the gun store, it isn't even close. I loved the feel of the Glock 43 also. I have seen reviews where the pps m2 and the 43 were the only single stack 9s to shoot 1,000 rounds with no malfunction. You can see it is a great shooter. The 3oz difference really seems to push hickok45 over the edge on this pistol. It feels very solid. The pps was less money, and now has a lifetime warranty. I got the only one available in my town. The pistol is my most comfortable of my 7 handguns. Also, I love hickok45 videos!

[@michaeldean5970]

Where did you get your ear protection? I want a pair! and got a PPS M2 today, it rocks! I carry it.

[@tylerblink4852]

I carried a full size beretta apx for about a year. That thing was hell, for the most part, to carry. I picked up a pps m2 a little while back and now I almost forget I'm carrying. Weight, even the smallest amount, can be huge. What I do absolutely love about the pps m2 is how slim it is. Also, the ergonomics are heavenly in my hand (which kind of resemble the apx). Love this gun to death. Shoots exceptionally well for a subcompact. P.s. I don't hate glocks because I think it's cool or edgy to. I just don't like the way they feel in my hand and I don't like shooting them.

[@LarryC213]

I have to admit to being a little perplexed about your review of this pistol...and your comments regarding the classic PPS. For the most part your review seemed pretty negative, at least to me it did. You love glocks, but you criticized the classic model PPS as being too blocky? And when you said that there was only a slight difference in width between the PPS and the Glock 26, I actually laughed out loud. I think that there is a huge difference in width between those two pistols. Just my opinion. Oh well, I really enjoy most of your videos.

[@J0hnnyExtra]

+LarryC213 Totally agree Larry. I was really surprised how lukewarm Hickok's reaction was to the PPS M2, considering he praised the first model and this is clearly an upgrade. Maybe it's because he was hounded to review the gun by so many fans with really high expectations, but he really focused on the negatives much more than his usual gun reviews. The PPS M2 is relatively new, but already highly regarded; you just wouldn't know it from this video. Still love this channel though.

[@dccmadams44]

+LarryC213 I agree about the width difference. Hold both the 26 and pps m2 in your hand, it is night and day on the feel.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah he really liked the PPS classic and bought one and carried it apparently before eventually selling it. I have no idea why he disliked this pistol. It has met with rave reviews from everyone else, and it's the most accurate subcompact/compact single stack on the market.

[@MultiMM68]

The old man is getting sinile...

[@gayhowe5291]

Were you born rude or did you have to work on it!

[@thomasharder9582]

Your comparisons for weight are NOT lame. I really didn't think about an ounce that way and you are indeed correct!

[@redcuffs3274]

Now there's an idea. Try a shooting video in a dress wearing your jewelry and a sun hat! Could end up being your most popular vid ever! Regardless, I'm new to your channel and appreciate your info and humor.

[@RadRed44]

+Red Cuffs ...He'd be getting into YM's territory there!

[@danthemanpatrick]

+RadRed44 LOL so true

[@64gunner1]

I have never owned a Walther firearm. I do believe they are of excellent quality and this one looks very interesting to say the least. Thanks for the video and your opinion.

[@BigAl52]

Love my Shield its in my pocket every day..

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They are both great pistols. We are spoiled for options these days.

[@dudelabowskee1608]

My EDC, with 8 rd magazine (+1 = 9 total - one in the barrel) Comes with 6 and 7 rd magazines, but 8 rd mag (as hickok45 mentioned, comes with LE version) can be purchased online (MidwayUSA, for example). Easily concealed, even under a t-shirt, iwb at the 3 o'clock position and even fits comfortably (for me) in a pocket holster in cargo shorts. Over 300 rds and not one misfeed, fte, or malfunction. Opinions vary and everyone has their personal preference - that said, I have owned over 30 different handguns (bought and sold) and this is what I feel most confident/comfortable with.

[@KavaniLoyan]

Can you review the new walther creed?

[@hickok45]

Yes, I have one in hand.

[@ben_3256]

Can't wait. I went to the gun shop and was holding the Creed and the PPQ and they both felt great. I went with the PPQ and I am very pleased with the purchase. Your reviews are invaluable to the gun community, Hickock. God bless from Ohio!

[@KENNEY1023]

I have the Walther PPS M2 9mm with one 6 round, one 7, and two 8 round magazines. I put TroGlo Tritium sights on it. It's my every day carry great pistol. I also have the PPQ M2 9mm another great pistol. I can carry my 8 round mag one in the chamber and another 8 round mag total 17 shots. If I need more than that then I'm already in trouble lol

[@TheFirearmGuy]

The M2 is definitely nice but if one has a classic, there is no reason to run out after this M2

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

+Matthew Manspeaker Here here.

[@champy1210]

TheFireArmGuy There IS a reason to choose the M2 over the M1/Classic: The Classic has a fatal flaw, where if the backstrap becomes dislodged or falls, the gun CANNOT fire! The M2 does not have that truly "fatal" flaw! With that being said, WTF did they get rid of the Euro ambi mag release?! Annoying!

[@sessiontelemetric5618]

TheFireArmGuy totally agree!

[@rkba4923]

@champy... If they ever produce the perfect gun we'll stop looking for it. lol.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

For what it's worth, I managed to disable the backstrap safety on my M1 by removing the backstrap decocker strut/connector from the subframe and now the risk of the firearm becoming inoperable due to the backstrap popping off is eliminated. Not difficult to do.

[@hack.hunter84]

Just got the LE for $350 at Buds Gun Shop in Lexington.. Came with 3 mags. Great single stack gun. Thanks Hickok.. 🇺🇸💪🏻

[@chrisofthewest8551]

Hickok you able to try The Honor Guard from Honor Defense?

[@stevegay7710]

Sotch00 has has a review. I own the gun and will be selling it soon. I cant shoot accurately with it. I lost a spring when I had it apart for cleaning and the company sent me a new one for free. I explained the problem I am having with accuracy and told them that the trigger seemed heavier that the rated weight. I asked to send it back for evaluation and they told me to sell it. Not the response that I was hoping for.

[@lakecityripper]

That’s because it’s not drop safe😂

[@michimadiforever1458]

Saying that you want the lightest gun with the high capacity is a contradictory statement because the extra rounds adds more weight to the gun.
