I finally entered the realm of S&W owner (my PPK/s is an Interarms) by acquiring two K-frame revolvers (a 13-3 and 65-3) over the last couple of months. Enjoying them and they are likely to be my best friends on the range, but they are not likely to be my preferred CC weapons.
For about two years I have been wanting a PPS and have started gravitating towards the M&P40C (like the barrel switch out option). It is not as compact as the PPS (nor my other gun I am considering for carrying the LC9) but it is pretty compact.
The PPS is about $250 or so more than the M&P compacts (and I would probably order one with a thumb safety). Plus the PPS seems to be problematic in the field based on what I have read.
Could stand some input on my options from those of you with vastly more experience on these fine weapons.
