The Walther PPK has been around for over 80 years and has been used by police, militaries and civilians, but made legendary by James Bond. It's an all steel frame .380 ACP that's accurate and reliable. #WaltherPPK #JamesBond007 #gunreview

I owned 4 in my lifetime. One was a pre-war .32. The others were from the 1960s in .32, .380, and .22. Carried the .32 for two years (my favorite) as an off duty weapon. Did not like the kick of the .380 ( sore hand ) after firing a full box of .380. ALL of these guns jammed several times each, so I retired them. Could not count on their reliability. They are beautiful firearms, being compact, light, and cool as hell to look at. Went to a light weight Smith & Wesson Centennial revolver as my off duty weapon. I knew I had 5 shots that I could rely on 100%. The PPK still holds a place in my heart after seeing 007 carrying one in the first Bond movie, Dr. No.

My wife, who is from Poland, got a chance to shoot the pistols from my collection. She had never fired a pistol in her life, though she’d shot quite a few rifles. After trying a Glock 19, Colt SAA, a couple of 1911s (in both .45 ACP and .38 Super), a S&W model 10, and several others she declared the PPK the least pleasant to shoot of all of them. She even preferred a .357 magnum to the little .380. I asked her why and she said “It’s the most harsh feeling”. She, interestingly, preferred the 1911 in .45 ACP followed by the S&W model 10. That felt recoil is no joke.

@AldoSchmedack 6 ай бұрын

Yeah the 380 recoil is no joke in blowback on these. I prefer 45 acp in 1911 myself. I open carry a 1911, ccw a ppk and if I am "not allowed" and don't want held up I carry a Beretta 21. I always carry and can legally carry anywhere. I just prefer to avoid issues. ppk is my goto. Only been noticed once on me ever in all my years.

I bought a PPK exactly like the one reviewed about 35 years ago. I think they were made for Interarms by a company called Ranger. It was my primary home protector for at least 20 years. Of the comparison guns shown I have a CZ70 that has a gawdawful trigger and a Beretta 85BB that I like at least as much or more than the PPK. A friend expressed interest in mine about 20 years ago. I asked $400 and they politely declined. I am glad now that they did and I have no plans at present to part with it. In fact at some point I plan to add a PP.

@RiderOftheNorth1968 Жыл бұрын

The PP is in my opinion a, surprisingly, much better pistol for every thing (exept perhaps concealed carry). The PP have a longer barrel that gives higher velocity AND a longer sight radius. Plus it have a better ammo capacity. It is easier to shoot fast and accurate. My .32 ACP PP from 1935 keeps all shots within 1.3" at 25 meters all day. The build quality in a pre WW2 example is unreal too.

@AbbyNormL Жыл бұрын

The PPK's name "Police Pistol Criminal" comes from the German "Polizeipistole Kriminal" which derived from the "Kriminalamt crime investigation office" of the German Police. To make the PPK legal after the 1968 GCA, Walther took the frame of the Walther PP and attached the slide of the Walther PPK thus giving birth to the Walther PPK/S.

In the books, Bond was issued the PPK because the Beretta got stuck in his holster at the end of From Russia With Love. Since they filmed the books out of order, they changed the reason to the Beretta jamming. Then in the next movie, we see the scene that should have been why the Beretta was replaced.

It seems some of these old designs are experience some resurgence, like the new Beretta 80X. I still have an old 84F that I still occasionally carry.

Got my PPKs at a gunshow years ago for $400. It had been machined at the muzzle to make it look like the PPK. Don't get the logic on that but it is definitely unique. The one other con I can think of is that you need to clean it thoroughly after each use as opposed to Glocks etc or you will have problems.

"PPK" stands for "Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell," which translates to "Police Pistol Detective Model" in English.

what I love about the ppk is that just like any vintage hand fitted gun they all run differently. My 1970 ppks will not chamber fiocchi ammo. Even other round will be a failure to feed. But i havent had a single issue with UMC 380. Your I see runs the fiocchi fine lol.

The PPKS was introduced with the short beavertail & made by Interarms in VA although actual manf work was done in Alabama. It wasn’t until S&W took it over that they redesigned the longer beavertail. Then Walther set ip their own US facility.

PPK's are great, albeit heavy, pistols. My dad brought a Walther PP in .32 back from WW-2. He got it by arranging compassionate leave for a GI whose wife was dying of TB. In return, the guy gave him the pistol. Dad wasn't sure if this was ethical and went to ask his CO. The CO was playing with an identical one from the GI, so dad kept his. --Old Guy

One of the most classic 380s ever made. Sexy in design and a complete pain in the ass to carry and shoot.

The black tuxedo goes really well with the Walther PPK. I guess a big gun bulge under a suit kind of blows a spy's cover huh?

Hi sootch00. You forgot to show the loaded camber indicator PP/PPK have. Its an very neat designe.

Inherited exact same gun from my Father, a former Marine. Probably 1980 era, Dad passed the CCW range test in Illinois with it years ago and always carried in in his motorhome when travelling. In my state, where CCW is not mandated, I plan to give it to my oldest daughter after she completes a CCW, non-mandated, course.

Carried mine for 14 yrs now. My mom when alive did too. Excellent carry gun. Works great as a club too. Heavy but worth it. My main carry gun.

The PPK is the Rolex of handguns. A Timex keeps better time than a Rolex, but I'd pick the Rolex every time...

I have large hands and I adopted a lower grip to counter the slide bite . My thumb goes straight down . Since it’s now muscle memory I still carry the Interarms PPK . In the eighties it was one of the few smaller 380’s . Wish they made one with a aluminum frame without that extended beaver tail .

I've been into firearms my whole life, and always wanted a PPK/S. I'm a USPSA 3-gunner, and have owned some pretty high-end custom guns, and I really enjoy the shooting sports, but I also carry daily for self-defense. I'm 57, and just never got around to getting this iconic gun in my collection, until recently. I finally got one recently, and it is a great little pistol. Like all small .380 Autos, it's not necessarily "fun" to shoot like a tricked-out 9mm or .45acp competition gun, but it is a GREAT carry gun for "deep carry" when I'm dressed up and can't carry a large-caliber self-defense piece (like my Glock 36). It has a super crisp trigger, an incredibly smooth action, and the all-steel construction makes it reliable and durable, and helps with recoil. It's a great little gun, and one of my favorite pieces.

Went on our Easter shoot. My son’s buddy had his really cool looking PPK…I had my Glock 42…no doubt the PPK won the swimsuit part pageant but lost the talent contest part, miserably. Jam, jam, jam….hardly a complete mag w/o some sort of failure…the -42? 100%….sample size of one but……plus almost twice the $….I’ll keep my -42, thanks.
