So, I own a "First Edition" PPS Classic, gray frame. The weapon has a system called QuickSafe, "safety redefined", the striker assembly is decocked when the backstop is removed. The backstrap supposedly doubles as a "key" to make the gun safe. I have never had a decocker fire a gun accidentally. I will cut to the chase. On Thanksgiving Day I was showing a relative my PPS and told them about the QuickSafe function. When I pulled the backstop off, the weapon fired. No fingers on the trigger and universal firearms safety rules had been followed. Yes, there are damages but nobody hurt. In retrospect I should have unloaded the weapon, but in my mind QuickSafe becomes useless if you already unload the weapon. As in, I would never unload then take off backstraps before leaving the weapon in my vehicle. I wrote Walther and have yet to hear back. Wonder if they will even respond since our last interaction years ago was horrible...Online shows a lot of people having issues with the backstrap coming loose and disabling the weapon. I would hate to think people could be out there, hit the backstrap, and it firing like mine did. Will see what Walther says...
