I keep seeing hints of this, even an email, "I forgot from who", but is it true?
I certainly agree with that.... one of the best looking and feeling guns I have ever had ...
Are you referring to the Walther PPK and PPK/S? They were marketed by S&W for a number of years, but that "partnership" ended a few years ago. Walther established its own US subsidiary to handle US distribution and some production.
An American-made PPK/S appears to be in process.

Bingo. I owned a PPK/S many years ago. When I actually got around to shooting it, I was frankly surprised at the horrible trigger pull. I ended up trading it toward an original, unaltered M1894 U.S. Krag (the one with the full-length cleaning rod). Best trade I ever made. The PPK/S looks impressive, but it's extremely difficult to shoot well.If it is true, hopefully, something will have been done about the horribly heavy DA pull.
Equin, id like to see this fancy ppk/s. If you get a chance. I also have a "fancy" one. Its the Royal Scots Guard edition. And its pretty. I know theyve made some different versions with engraving and nice grips.
Id be really interested in seeing yours. This is mine, #268 out of 400 made.
I had a W.German Interarms imported Walther PPK/S .380 I used to carry as a backup gun. Very nice, but the only gun I've had that used to leave two parallel cut lines on the web between my thumb and forefinger if I wasn't paying attention to my grip.
I have one of the S&W engraved PPs. Not as pretty as the one above. I believe these PPs & PPKs are ammo sensitive. Been shooting Fiocchi and have had no problems.
