Has the PPS M2 barrel peening issue been fixed yet (due to the trigger bar hitting the edge of the barrel)? or is it still luck of the draw?

Walther considers the peening to be normal and there is no fix.

uggg, that's so disappointing to hear that Walther is just ignoring this design flaw. Guess I'll have to officially knock the PPS M2 off my list of single stacks to get.

I had 2 of them a couple years back, but sold them once I noticed the peening (the last one was like a year and a half ago). Was hoping that they would correct the issue, but guess I'll have to stick to my P99 compacts

This is my first Walther...yay me.
I have about 150 rounds through it.
Sights are intact, not on the recall list and no sign of peening yet.

Is there a round count typically before the peening is pronounced?

Did I buy the one functioning PPS M2?

Thanks.

I think there are about two people on this entire forum that have pronounced peening. I've got 4 PPS (3 original, 1 M2). All have been fired and came to me used, and I've fired at least a couple of them. Two have zero peening evidence. Two might have the slightest possible hint under a magnifying glass of the peening. I'm going to monitor but I am not at all concerned.

The PPS has now gone down to sub $300 used in my area, nearly disposable gun pricing. I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over a perceived "peening" problem. Which Walther doesn't recognize as a problem anyway. I've not heard any reports of any problems caused by it either.

If you're still really unsure on the PPS, go with the classic. It's a better gun IMO and the ergos are more akin to the P99 anyway.
