Walther PPK or PPK/S

[Alan Fud]

I own both the Browning BDA and the Walther PPK/S. I love the Walther but the Browning is my favorite out of all my guns! I would buy either in a heartbeat.

I also own both and the BDA380 is a much bigger gun compared to the PPK. The PPK can fit in most jean pockets. The BDA380 can't. But I completely agree with you, the BDA380 is an awesome gun and they are back in production. I recently picked up a second one.

If you're interested, I can put you in touch with a dealer in my area who has a few of them in stock -- both nickel and blue ... NIB!

PM me if you're interested.

The PPK/s is built on the PP grip frame. The PP & PPK/s have two grip panels sandwiching a full metal grip frame. The mainspring is inside the frame.

The PPK has wrap around grip panels similar to the 3rd generation S&W pistols.
The mainspring is outside the frame encased/protected by the grips.


Cylinder & Slide has some great packages for the PP-PPK/s. Well worth the money if you want a Walther for a serious carry weapon.

I have been thinking about getting my nickel one a darker brother or sister!

You will find my stainless PPK/S on me more than any pistol I own. Why fits in pocket of my jeans with my Don Hume pocket holster perfect. Has always been 100% relieable and I feel with 90grCorBon HP will hurt someone if Needed.
I can't like a sig Their bigger and all the controls on side don't work for a left hander. The only way I have ever carried my PPK/S is safety off. Thats the reason for a 1st shot DA long trigger NO SAFETY to worry about. Show me a case where a PPK/S was dropped and it fired Not saying hasn't happen but not likely. Besides to much made of this dropping crap. Hold on to you weapon or keep in a good holster and you won't need to worry about this lawyer dreamed up trash. My PPK/S has never bit me either and I have large hands.
Bersa's are nice but a little larger than PPK/S and are not quite as well made. The do have a better trigger on DA than PPK/S and are relieable for most part out of box. Also as everyone points out cost 1/2 as much. I own and shoot a Bersa 380 Iam also the Mod on http://bersatalk.com so I like my Bersa's but carry my PPK/S. They both have their place

Has anyone ever used a Walther PP32 and what did you think of its performance.?? Thanks for any reply.

I love my Interarms PPK/s. It is accurate, reliable, good looking, and very concealable. Only downsides are both heavy - double action trigger, and overall weight. The trigger doesn't bother me. I like, and use, the single action option. The only temptation I would have is to look at polymer nines or lightweight snubs to lighten the burden on the pocket. But that temptation is easily overcome by the virtues of the PPK/s in my view.

The Walther PP is tied for first place as my favorite DA .32. (The Sauer 38H is my other favorite.
In .32 I actually like the PP better than the PPK/s. The little extra slide mass sems to function better.
As I recall you get an extra round by going to the .32?

I have seen some recent import .32 French PP pistols that seemed really nice.
