The PPS M1 Classic is the original single-stack, micro-size variant with a 3.1-inch steel barrel chambered in .40 S&W. Its slim profile and 7+1 capacity make it compact while maintaining caliber capability. The pistol is finished in black with a durable polymer frame and steel slide.
Controls and safety features include the ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release and a trigger safety tab. A loaded-chamber viewport and a red striker status indicator provide quick visual status checks. The QuickSafe system disables the pistol when the backstrap is removed, and a spare backstrap is included.
Sighting is handled by 3-dot iron sights with a drift-adjustable rear. Front sight heights can be swapped to fine-tune elevation, allowing practical adjustment without aftermarket parts. The PPS M1 Classic has a smooth dust cover and does not include an accessory rail.
Proofs and markings confirm origin and date: DE C.I.P. nitro proof with Ulm antler and BF date code (2015), plus "Made in Germany" and a Walther Arms, Fort Smith, AR import mark. Matching serials on slide, barrel, and frame align with factory configuration. The case label (Art.-No. 2796350) corresponds to the PPS .40 S&W in black.
