I've got one of the new PPK (via Smith & Wesson) models and like it. Gave $450 for it new. Upside to it is that it's thin, easily concealable in a waistband or cummerbund (Bond, James Bond), pretty darn accurate, very reliable, and the new ones have an improved double action pull for that first shot and an extended tang to eliminate slide bite. Downside (to me) is that the improved tang causes tang bite (eliminated with a dremel and a sailor's vacabulary), and a safety that works opposite to most. All in all, it's a solid piece of work. It's a chunk of steel which is a plus for durability but maybe a downside for ccw. As I said, I like mine. I will admit that I was Kahr ignorant when I bought mine. Would have at least considered getting a Kahr if I had it to do all over again. I think there might have been some reliability issues originally with the PPK/S that the PPK didn't have. I think those must have been fixed early because I don't think I've heard of any problems in a long time.
