I was originally going for a double stack but at the last minute decided to stick with a single stack mostly for the Concealability factor. All of my current carries are double stack except for my PPS so I thought another single stack wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'll let you all know how it goes once I get it to the range.

First for a couple of pics:




Just got it home and did a quick clean and lube so this very initial stuff.
Fit and finish is excellent. Take down is exactly like a standard 1911, unlike at least one other one that I've heard or.
At first glance I really have only one minor complaint and that is that there is a bit of creep on the trigger and in a 1911 I can't live with that so after a range trip tomorrow I'll be getting rid of that.
The trigger is at about 5 lbs and as this will be a carry gun I'm going to leave that be, it may drop just a little bit when I remove the creep but I'm going to keep it at 5 lbs. Actually it is just a bit more than 5 so removing the creep will probably put it right at 5.
I'll post more after the range trip but that is about it for now. It's a good looking pistol and seems to be solid and well made. Time will tell but I'm happy so far.

Interesting sight combo, FO front with a GI style rear. How is the sight picture?

The PPS is great for it's size. Which actually says a lot. It's extremely easy to carry and conceal. It's accurate considering its sight radius. It's a keeper because of it's size and it's been 100% reliable. If you are looking for a small gun I don't think you could beat it. That being said if at all possible I carry something larger.

Thanks, I'm looking for something smaller/lighter to carry in the summer months when shorts are a must in the heat of Florida. Thanks for the report.
