I bought my first PP-series pistol in ~1976 and have since had an example of each of the 3. I still have a PPK that I purchased in ~1988. All were 9x17.
IMO ...
NOT much of a range gun, but a nice little SD gun. I still have the excellent Roy's Leather Goods pancake holster that I bought in the '70s for my first one (PPK/s) and it rides very comfortably in the 4-5 position under a sport/suit coat.
By paying attention to their grip, most folks can avoid slide and/or hammer bite.
Newer, lighter SD pistols have eclipsed the PP-series pistols.
I preferred my PP & PPK/s for shooting/accuracy but the PPK is the best of the three for carry.
So the PPK is a bit snappy <shrug> it is a small SD pistol.
Since I acquired my KelTec P3AT in ~2005 I haven't carried my PPK.
