The cool factor is undeniably a big deal with these guns.
In general, this is a gun that will always go bang when you pull the trigger.
WALTHER PP DATES OF MANUFACTURE SERIES
Reliability is a perceived selling point of these pistols– the original PP series pistols were first produced in 1929 for the German police, so there’s been plenty of time to get everything completely mostly right. They really enjoy that.īenefits of the PPK/S are of course the small size, about 6.1 inches long (though with a substantial unloaded weight of 1.4 pounds). Next time you see an aging hippie gun grabber from the 60’s, make sure to thank them for helping to introduce one of the most popular pistols of all time to the U.S. The downside is a slightly larger gun, with an upside of one additional round in the magazine, bringing the total to 7+1. The PPK/S essentially takes the slide and barrel assembly of the small PPK and marries it to the longer grip of the larger PP. market to comply with the Gun Control Act of 1968 that made a regular PPK too small to import. The PPK/S, though a derivative of the venerable German PPK, was made intentionally for the U.S. Having spent some time looking for a replacement PPK/S I snapped it up. The example sitting before me turned out to be a used PPK/S in 9mm Kurz (.380 auto for those of us of a less Teutonic bent) manufactured some time in the 1970s by Interarms. This time, however, I wanted a man’s caliber. 22 version during the ammo shortages of recent memory.
I’d been searching for a replacement Walther PPK or PPK/S since trading in my. The faux British accent didn’t even sound right inside my head as I spied the little Walther sitting under the glass at my local gun store.
