Customize a PPK/S? While lots of people carried one-it was, after all, the only reliable. I found a gun magazine from 1998 that contained a review of a customized Walther PPK/S. It’s a fixed barrel, with the recoil spring fitting around the barrel. The barrel is low, which contributes to less muzzle rise and felt recoil. It is super flat-the slide is just about 0.8 inch thick, and the grips are the fattest part of the gun at just 1.1 inches. This pistol is so size-efficient I’m surprised John Browning didn’t design it. The pistol measures 6.1 by 4.3 inches and comes with two seven-round magazines-one flush and one with an extended polymer finger hook. It’s an all-steel pistol, and unloaded with an empty magazine, the Walther tipped my electronic scale at 23.7 ounces. 380 ACP (the only chambering offered) with a decocking safety lever on the left side of the slide. The PPK/S is a traditional double-action/single-action pistol chambered in. I secured a sample of the new PPK/S for review. New versions of both models are currently being built in the United States by Walther Arms, which is why the PPK can be sold here now. In order to meet the GCA criteria, the PPK/S (the “S” stands for sporting) combined the short PPK slide with the larger PP frame.įor decades, the PPK and PPK/S were the carry guns of professionals (and a certain famous spy), and after a lull of a few years, Walther is once again offering the PPK/S and PPK. The GCA banned the import of pistols that didn’t meet certain “sporting” criteria based on size, weight and features, and the PPK was too small. The PPK/S version made its debut in 1968 and was a direct result of our Gun Control Act of 1968. The PPK variant came about shortly thereafter, and it combined a shorter 3.3-inch barrel with a 0.4-inch shorter grip frame, which reduced capacity by one. The PP had a 3.9-inch barrel and offered a seven-round capacity in. The original Walther PP ( Polizeipistole or police pistol) has been around since 1931 and has seen use by a lot of police and military officers in its long history.
