Features
The pre-loaded internal striker is a variant of the partially cocked striker system of the Walther P99 Quick Action model. When the trigger is pulled, the already partially cocked striker is fully cocked and released, firing the pistol. An indicator on the back of the slide shows if the striker is partially cocked.

The ‘QuickSafe’ trigger variant main difference with the Walther P99 Quick Action trigger is that removing the PPS pistol’s backstrap will disable the gun for safe storage by decocking and blocking the striker until the backstrap is reinstalled.

The PPS has a trigger travel of approximately 6 mm (0.2 in) and a trigger pull of approximately 27 N (6.1 lbf). Unlike many other trigger systems preset internal strikers have a let-off point and trigger pull that remains unchanged from the first shot to the last and requires no decocker.
