Ppk, Ppk/s? Update with PICS!

[prproulx]

What's the difference?

Is the PPK/S the stainless version?

I got my Walther PPK/S from weimajack and what can I say? And it doesn't say Interarms anywhere!
It fits my little sausage fingered hands perfectly, it is absolutely MINT. I don't think I would want the grips to be any shorter.

S has a PP frame to make it bigger, therefore importable into USA. (GCA68)

 

[SDC]

Exactly; the PPK is too short in the frame to make it importable into the US, so they started assembling them with the longer frame.

 

[prproulx]

So what did I buy and are the mags the same?

 

[Deckard]

Buy mags for PPK/S or PP. It's not Bond's gun (sorry), but a nice find. How much?

 

[prproulx]

I just noticed it said PPK/S on the slide.

It's NIB and I paid around $500.

buy PP mags...nice score

 

[USP]

as long as its not made by Interarms you got a nice one.

So this model could be taken into the USA as a CCW?

Nice gun by the way.

I thought about that but it says Made In West Germany on the slide so I assume it's the real thing.

 

[USP]

yeah I think its ok.. But werent a few actually made in WGermany and imported to be assembled in the US? Either way nice gun you got there. Have you tried it out yet?

 

[prproulx]

I don't have it yet! Slow transfer as usual.

 

[RT]

I belive the ppk/s is a PP frame with a ppk slide and barrel on it. This was done to me some US import laws in the 60s I think. Not too many came to Canada.

Nice gun by the way.

Try getting it back into Canada. Anyhow, who would CCW with a .32?

Well it's better than a poke in the eye with a burning stick...

Still a nice pistol... was going to offer on it myself but you beat me to it.

 

[Deckard]

Sorry. But the numbers I think about are .357SIG, 10mm, .45, .40, so .32 doesn't hit the radar.

Glock 33 or this Taurus that has PPK profile (but thicker)...
