John, difficult to compare the two really because the Walther PPS is a 9mm vs. a .380 and quite a bit more expensive than the LCP so it's a bit of apples and oranges. I will say however being the owner of two Walthers - a P99 in 9mm and a P99c in .40, that the current crop of Walthers are super weapons and it's a shame they don't get more attention. Part of the problem is that that Walther is currently distrubuted in the US by S&W and as we all know, S&W is pushing very aggresively the M&P at the expense of the Walther.
