Night sights for Walther PPK

[Guitargod1985]

I've been giving some very serious thought to acquiring a Walther PPK for my new deep concealement / summer gun. Does anyone know of a company that makes nights sights for the PPK? It would be great if I could find some night sights for the PPK, otherwise I'm not particularly interested in it. Night sights are essential to me. I've already checked Trijicon, and they don't seem to offer them. Any ideas?

I'm not sure of any night sight options for that pistol .. other than a custom jobber.

If you like SiG pistols, the P232 model is available with night sights.

I bought a 232 without the night sights and the only route for me to take with it now is a custom install as SiG will not (as of 6 months ago, anyway) retro-fit them.

Good luck.

Since the front sight on the PPK is part of the slide, you would need to either have a dovetail cut for a replacement sight or have the existing front sight modified for a tritium tube.

Night sights for PPK

I know its' been done at Novaks and Cylinder& Slide; required dovetail cut. Probably could have a tritium capsule inserted in front sight, bit I don't know who. Imagine it would be as expensive as dovetail. Have you looked at Ashley 24/7's?

August 20th's Shotgun News has an article on the PPK, you might try to find one.

In it, they use a PPK with night sights installed by MMC.

They look pretty nice.

OO7 I have a P232 and was not aware that it is available with night sights. Do you know who makes the night sights for Sig for the P232?

PPK is a up close pistol Doubt if you would ever see sight let alone use. Don't shoot till you can ID target in low light. Means their going to be close.

Cougfan2,

Like the PPK, the 232 front sight is part of the slide.

SiG offers night sights as a factory option but will not insert the tritium in the standard front sight. (Unless they have recently changed this policy, though I doubt it).

Those of us with standard sights are stuck with a custom install which, as mentioned, would mean either having someone drill a hole in the front sight and glue a tritium vial in there or milling off the original sight and milling in a dovetail that will accept, say a sig#6 or #8 or whatever style dove-tailed front sight.

SiG offers the rear night sight, which will fit in the standard rear dovetail.
Mayhap, Trijicon & Meprolight offer replacement rears as well.

May be a little more costly in the long-run, but you can figure out the exact sight setup you want (within reason, a globe front and rear Bomar might be a little too big) and have it custom installed by a good smith (the milled areas will at the very least need cold-blue on up to a complete slide refinish) and be all set.
