Bought my first PPK/s in 1971. Wore the blue off of it carrying and had it nickled. Still fine today. Latest one I bought this year. Stainless Steel from the Fort Smith factory, but with the barrel and slide still made in Germany.

You like the Fort Smith production ?Bought my first PPK/s in 1971. Wore the blue off of it carrying and had it nickled. Still fine today. Latest one I bought this year. Stainless Steel from the Fort Smith factory, but with the barrel and slide still made in Germany.

Ditto. I'd prefer it in that caliber as well. .380 ACP is a bit snappy. Not outrageously so, but enough so to get in the way of having fun shooting it. There are several used PPK/S's in .32 ACP available on Gunbroker - a couple of them US production. They're pricey, but in relation to the German-produced pistols ... whoo wheee ... those are way beyond my means!!I just wish they’d start making a new .32 version,
WALTHER should consider an extended magazine the matches the bottom of the PPK grip instead of the PPK/S, in my opinion.

Ummmm ... have you actually compared shooting two guns of the same make and model and caliber, one with a steel frame and the other with an alloy frame? Hmmmmm????....A PP size gun with perhaps an aluminum frame for lightness with a PPK styled grip frame would be a very nice gun to carry and SHOOT.
My father-in-law relived a German Sargent of this .32 cal PPK during the battle of the bulge WWII. I've never fired it, but have dry fired a couple times. Has the heaviest trigger of an gun I've ever handled.

Is that a bottom mag release, and do you have a pic of the other side?
