Great review, I have my dad’s Interarms imported, West Germany made Walther PPK/s he bought new in 1973. I carried it for a time as a back up / off-duty gun in the early 90’s. When he passed away, it came back to me. I still have the original box, manual and cleaning rod. This review makes me want to break it out and start carrying it again.
I bought this same gun a few months ago..I too have heard that the slides are still made in Germany. I emailed Walther, and yes, the slides are still made in Germany 🙂
It's so true. I once showed a picture of a PPK to a very innocent young woman who knew nothing about guns. The first word she used to describe the gun was "sexy." So there you have it. It is a very elegant and beautifully sculptured piece. Form and function. I am in Canada and am not able to have a real example because they're prohibited here, even in .380 ACP. The barrel length is too short according to our laws here. The closest I have to a real one is the Umarex BB gun version, which I recommend. The only thing noticeably different is that the grip is longer than the grip on an actual PPK/S to accommodate the CO2 cartridges.
Yep, Ft. Smith, ARKANSAS. Glocks (at least the 43) are made in Georgia (my state), and these Walthers in Arkansas, both in Dixie. LOL.. Walthers and Glocks are my favorite handguns, although I have others (like Rugers) which are very fine too. Sigs, Smiths, Colts, Springfields, etc. all very fine guns. I've decided it comes down to personal preference; there are many excellent ones out there. The PPK is heavy, but it's an icon and an excellent product.
@@klonidier Good point! .. There are some "Saturday night specials" made in Florida and maybe other Southern States, but I personally don't count those and don't care to own one. The others mentioned are quality, dependable handguns.
I'v owned a Walther PPK/S for about 10 years and love it. It has to be one of the most accurate gun I own, at 20 yards I can put round after round through the same hole
Add to chuckle when you said “if Bond can get it done with a .32 “ I’ve had the PPK for 30+ years and love it for what it is. I don’t always carry it, but it will always be my favorite gun in my collection.
I got mine today, it's great! I contacted Walther and they told me that as of today (06/04/2020) the slides are still being made in Ulm, Germany and the frame is being made in Fort Smith, AR.
*click* "Hmm, Walther PPK. 7.65mm. Only 3 men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them." "Lucky me." *click* "I think not." One of the funniest lines in a Bond film. Goldeneye was also the first movie I ever saw Minnie Driver in. Yes, she played Valentino's girlfriend, who was singing badly on the stage! 😁
Awesome! I was excited when I saw that Walther was going to resume production of the PPK, but then the project stagnated for what felt like forever. They released the 22lr version a long time ago, and the PPK/S... But I wanted the PPK in 380. I'm glad to see it has finally hit the gun store shelves!
I bought a Interarms one back in the late 80's early 90s. Very nice gun. Shoots accurate for a small gun. If it was good enough for James Bond its good enough for me.
I have an older Interarms imported PPK/S in 380acp, love this gun. nice and flat. right amount of weight and light recoil. small enough to fit in my pocket with the flat magazine base , finger extension sometimes hangs up on some pockets. wonder if the PPK/S mags would work in the PPK.
Beautiful weapon. I got mine from my father when he passed away. He Purchased it in the late 70's. It says made in West Germany on the side. .380 cal. It Only like to shoot hardball . Be careful, if you have large hands the slide will bite.
I love the Walther PPK. Such an iconic gun and I'm glad Walther decided to make them again. My grandfather had one in 32 ACP and that was the first firearm I've ever fired. I'm hoping Walther releases one in 9mm in the future. The closes we'll ever get to that is the Walther P5, but you can't find any for under $1,500 nor are they as abundant. Recoil might not make a 9mm PPK as enjoyable to shoot though compared to 380.
they cant make it in full power 9mm because the slide will have to lock into the barrel and release upon recoil . and the barrel is fixed with the recoil spring wrapped around it so the barrel has no place to go if it had to unlock from the slide. so they are stuck with a pure unlocked blowback system which is not strong enough for full power 9mm x19mm loads.
@@georgebravo99 I bought mine for about 750$ out the door. Was expensive for a .380 but definitely worth every penny. No malfunctions, no mods needed, no complaints whatsoever with the gun so far.
I'm a serious collector of PPK and it's my favorite model from the all PP series. I carry it with me all the time. Lots of people asks "Why not 9mm in this PPK ?" Because this gun originally designed for .32acp (7.65mm) that shoots best on it's size of the gun. If Walter produced in 9mm (9x19), your shooting hand terribly hurts, bruises and bites... even you shoot this gun in .380acp (9mm kurz/short, 9x17) kicks so hard to hit your hand hurt... but you will get used to it until you built some callus on your lower part of thumb. As a PPK shooter I am, more than tens of thousand rounds, functionally works very well that you can feeling in the range if you use .32acp caliber PPK, PPK/S or PP. Very classic and reliable !!
the fuck are you talking about? this gun in .380 is a pussycat. the reason it will never be done in 9mm is because its a blowback design. the gun would beat itself to death. it has nothing to do with "hurting your hand"
@@killervztwogaming5796 Most likely, I hate to leave comments in UA-cam. So many people don't understand what it is. Please read again my comment and try to understand first. As of your comment, perhaps I bet you have not been shoot this gun before, have you ? Tell you what, I have my Walter collection been for 30 years that included 19 of PPK's.
I have a S&W version, purchased about 10 years or so ago. I've never had any problems with mine. I bought it for the same reason. ...Bond. Enjoy your new toy!
This is such a beautiful self defense pistol. Its small and it fits nicely into the hands. When I'm a little older ill be sure to pick this one up! Such a sexy pistol!
Great unboxing...beautiful gun! I have both the PPK and PPK/s in stainless steel both made by Walther...I would say however that the factory is located in Fort Smith, Arkansas as opposed to Arizona as you mentioned.
Why would you wish to carry a gun dressed in a bathrobe. What are the risks of being mugged on route from bathroom to dressing / bedroom. Then when dressed you change to a bigger weapon. Are you paranoid or something. Let me guess, some wild animal may be a secret cross dresser trying on your wifes underwear and you may just have to blow its brains out. I know I'm a stiff assed brit but you Americans and gun culture is beyond normal understanding.
@@johnnettleton1240 it is fact that home invasions and burglaries often occur at odd hours, when the home owner is not dressed. Predators who attack young women sometimes watch the residence lights at night, until they are confident their intended victim is in the shower, then they break in and attack. My goal with my guns is the same as with my fire extinguishers and spare tires, to carry it ALWAYS, but never to need it. If everyone would carry, we might achieve that goal. Study Kennesaw, Georgia’s 1982 “gun law” and subsequent drop in crime rate.
O "" Boy, those PPK are still beautiful today. I own a PPK 380 Chrome with mother of pearl grips. from the 1980s Made in Germany.And wear them as a backup for my Glock 20 Gen 4 every day
I agree that Walther PPK is an icon,I had to have one myself I bought my from a retired homicide detective. It was his backup gun. It's also a 380, but my gun's serial numbers starts with 007. Now how cool is that? Thanks I really enjoy your channel.
Got mine Nov, 19' waited 3 months. I ordered stainless fit and finish is superior can't beat Walther history. Paid $779 well worth it to own one of the most iconic handguns also the holy grail of .380's. Ran 100 through it incredibly accurate and ran as advertised. It now resides in my safe and is carried on an occasional basis. Also own 4 more other Walther's. By the way l own a Bersa Thunder,.380, best clone out there will ear anything and with the fixed barrel extremely accurate.
I believe its a melonite finish. They sell quickly but for almost 880 bucks. Smith and wesson at least had bluing. I still like my ppk/s stainless from S&W.
Gorgeous. This will be my first handgun. I will also research the ppks. This gun has also been used in other movies especially euro or independent ones.:p
I LOVE them. Have a PPK and PPK/S in stainless and an the actual Bond model, a Blued PPK in 7.56mm made in West Germany before the 68' Gun Act. Also got a P99 back in the late 90s when he switched to it, except I got the titanium coated upper.
Walther PPK would definitely be a choice for a 380. These are well made & I also like all steel guns. Great that your advocating for our 2nd Amendment, we should welcome newbie gun owners, not sit them in the corner uninformed.
Congrats on your PPK. They're an awesome handgun. One of my friends has one, which I've fired at the range, and it IS sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! The PPK might just be my next Holy Grail gun. I just got my Sgt. Joe Friday gun last week at a local gun show, a Smith and Wesson M & P sub nose (pre-model 10 made in 1948), so I know how jazzed you are with the PPK.
I just bought my used Walther PPK/S .380 in all black, come with two 7rd mag. I pefer the black one over the stainless one. My was $599.99 plus taxs and shipping so total $634.28. I was going to get the Bersa Thunder .380 for $250-300 but i decided to not be cheap and get the Walther ppk/s .380 instead. My should be here in a few days at my FFL then i can go pick it up. I can't wait! To excited
It's excellent to see they have lengthened the beaver tail, had a PPK back in the day, and that sucker bit me every time I shot it. May have to look into getting one of these. Excellent review. Thank you
I would personally either buy a WW2 era PPK or something made in West Germany after the war. I don't like the finish on this gun whatsoever; the traditional blued steel look is by far the best looking imo. I'm guessing this one is made of stainless steel so they use aluminum blackener on it as it won't react to gun blue properly. Apart from that the old school grips just feel better in the hand, at least as far as I have experienced. (Bakelite feels the best; it cracks easier than plastic but it has that smooth ivory texture to it) Also, the markings on the modern gun would totally ruin it for me. This is a classic German gun and it should have German markings as far as I'm concerned. I could never be happy with a gun bought as a trinket, meant to capitalize on the fame of it's predecessor. It's like buying one of those remake watches with 'James Bond' written on the dial. So fucking tacky... if you want Bonds watch, buy the same model he wore in the movie... and buy the same gun he used in the movies. (of which there were many actually, including the PPK-L, PP and Browning 1910 of all things) Finally, that extended beaver-tail is UUUUGLYYYY! I'm 6'4 and have big hands but I still rather get bit by the hammer while shooting than have to look at that monstrosity. Grasp it lower on the grip, that's what the pinkie extension is there for. :)
Sax and Phone I thought your review was a little harsh, to say the least....then I watched the entire video, and I think you’re spot-on on everything you mention. 😢
I've owned two PPK's on via Interarms in 380 and one via S&W in 32 . . and still have a German PP . . . I don't like the look of the longer beaver tail at all . . . never had the older ones bite me . . still, this is a great gun. Love the PPK far more than the PPK/s. . . glad it's back.
I got the stainless version a few months ago. Loved it so much I got the “Black” version too. I prefer the stainless, but the Black gave me an excuse to get another. For me, after shooting them enough to be satisfied they have no issues, they are simply cool guns to have in the collection. Maybe a classy carry on occasion.
The legendary FPS in N64, Goldeneye 007, made this gun somehow hold 7 rounds instead of 6. The PPK is a cool little gun, though I prefer the larger PP. That gun isn't just James Bond's trademark gun, but Adolf Hitler killed himself with this exact same weapon, too! Two famous uses! Remember when the infamous Scaramanga (RIP Christopher Lee) said in one moment "My Golden Gun against your Walther PPK"? The Gold PP7 in the Goldeneye game is a cross of their weapons together, turning the PPK into a gold death pistol that's even more useful than the traditional Golden Gun. Fun fact: Ian Fleming, the man behind 007, actually did NOT start Bond with this gun; he began with a .25 Beretta 418 in the first novels until Dr. No, until he switched to the Walther PPK on the advice of a firearm expert named Geoffrey Boothroyd. The Dr. No film however, had Bond/Felix actually use PPs, not PPKs.
I have an Italian made Bernadelli Model 80 (.380 ACP)...its a Walther PPK clone (for the most part)... It was my dads, he bought it at a pawn shop in the 80s. It's a very good running firearm. It has a mag release at the bottom of the mag well, which is not too convenient...and a bit stiff. It's not a quick reload gun. But I only have one mag for it anyway. Its a fun gun to shoot. Its good as an extra gun to stage for home defense. I occasionally take it as my car gun, as well. They are pretty plentiful on the used gun market. They come in at about an average of $250. You can find them with 2 mags, and original owners manual, etc... pretty easily. I researched mine as best I could, not a lot of info out there though. I believe mine was made in the late 60's. Anyway... if you're looking for a decent Walther clone that wont break the bank... its a good option.
You lucky, lucky, lucky Bastard! (when said in an Australian accent, "Bastard" can almost be considered a term of endearment, so think on that before you get too bent outta shape :-)
It is definitely an iconic piece, and I may get me one as a collectible item some day. Whenever I get to wear a tux I'll buy me a shoulder holster and carry the Walther PPK for the occasion. Hell, I may even surprise my wife and call her Moneypenny... That said, I still prefer my Glock 26 for carry on.
My first pistol was a German made 380 Ppk/s, later retired it and carried an Interarms made in USA stainless Ppk . Custom ambi safety, which should be standard or optional , custom springs DA around 10 lbs, sa 5 lbs. carried it for years. Replaced it a few yrs back for pocket carry with a 13. 5 ounce Colt Mustang Pocketlite. With its locked breech action a dream to shoot and line the Ppk , accurate and dependable. The Walther is a classic but it is being eclipsed by small light 9 mm pistols. If Walther would offer an alloy frame with the weight dropped to around 14 ounces , it would make a nice pocket pistol. As is it is too heavy and will be a collectible pistol. Get one now because it’s’ days are numbered. The prom queen is a grandmother .
I'm posting the Bond video from Dr. No. Ian Flemming was in MI6 during WW2. The gentleman in the video bringing the Walther is a retired MI6 agent and a friend of Ian. He suggested that Flemming use the PPK because the CIA and MI6 agents used the PPK for over 20 years in the field. Both agencies had unlimited resources to use any fire arm in the world or have one of them manufacture a new model as Sig Saur did for the presidential Secret Service. As the government spent fortunes to train field agents, they wanted to make sure they had the best conceal carry pistol. Walther PPK was chosen. Since they've been around ever since 1908, all of the bugs are out of it. It fits in a pair of jeans front pocket Interesting video below. ua-cam.com/video/tU98uP7pXA8/v-deo.html
Love my p38. Would like a new one mines from the 60s. Glad to say they modified it a bit to keep your hands from getting torn up. Don't have that at all with the p38.
@@TerriblyTactical I maybe getting one real soon.Probably in the next few weeks or a month,My FFL is going to order me one.He's going to order me a black one so that may take a few weeks to come in
I was issued with one of the original ppk's ( made entirely in the Karl Walter factory in Germany) as a sidearm whilst a police officer, regretted not buying one when I retired. Very difficult to source.
Love this gun, and the configuration you have (black, and ppk not ppk/s) is exactly the one I’ve been wanting. I’m an all metal gun guy myself so I would want to carry it. On that note, not many videos on the new ppk at all, and I honestly think you might be the only person who had reviewed this configuration. So my question is, have you taken it out yet? And if so how has it faired in terms of reliability? Thanks in advance!! Love the channel.
finally someone uploaded a video of the new ppk. this is honestly one of my favorite pistols. very near the top, if not at the top, on my list of guns to buy. also glad you got the ppk, not the ppk/s. the ppk/s looks a bit wacky; the grip shouldnt be that long.
The frame of the PPK/S is actually a PP frame. Walther should have continued production of the PP. Only difference between a PPK/S and PP is half inch in slide length.
It's great Walther has brought back the PPK. I didn't know they stopped producing them. :) The PPK. Only reason to buy one is if y you're a Bond fan. Walther should know this and should have produced a 32 as well. For for the fans. I'd carry one as a backup. Unfortunately up here in Canada we have an annoying "barrels must be a minimum of 4""...so we can't have Walther's. :P
When Bond "skinned this smokewagon" lmao, love it. Always love me a good Tombstone reference. Thats lame of Walther that its not a blued finish like originally and just a "black" finish. TF.
@@TerriblyTactical True, but people buy the PPK for its history/tradition/nostalgia like you said, and not bluing it turns away from tradition. I'm gonna just get a stainless one (even though they were never offered in stainless when made in Germany haha). I have had 2 blued S&W models in the past, so wanna change it up. Btw, I never had any issues with either of my S&W PPK's. Idk why people always bash them so much. I certainly think they are better than the Interarms versions just simply due to the fact of the extended beavertail. It's a huge and very much needed improvement over the original.
@@markallen4001 I've found some things on guns.com as well. No bidding. They've got a .380 right now for just under $700 www.guns.com/firearms/handguns/semi-auto/walther-ppk-s-380-acp-semi-auto-6-rounds-3-6-barrel-not-specified-stainless-and-black-used?p=298350
Sadly, living in the United Kingdom, all I can aspire to is a Umarex BB air pistol copy, which comes in at around £ 140. If I do purchase one, no doubt at some time my wife will catch me posing in front of the wardrobe mirror and I'll never hear the end of it✌❤ Bob.
Outstanding video, thanks. Since you have your new firearm, all you need is the tuxedo, an Aston Martin and “Pussy Galore” in the passenger seat. On a more serious note, every gun owner in the US owes a serious debt of gratitude to Sam Cummings the founder of Interarms. He imported boatloads of these WWII surplus pistols into the US. He was a true American patriot and a proud Virginian. The Interarms warehouse on Union Street in Alexandria, VA was a fortress of freedom. I bought my war surplus PP at the Potomac Arms/Full Metal Jacket shop next door to Interarms in the 1980s. Sadly, all of that is now ancient history here in Northern Virginia due to oppressive local government gun control policies.
Yeah man! I bought the Ppks in stainless just cuz it's cool as hell with no intention of carrying it. Then I shot the damn thing and couldn't put it down! Shoots every time! I've been carrying it ever since.
You would be interested to know that Walther also made in 9mm for about 10 yrs though it wasn`t very popular most people ordered it in 32 acp. then some in .22
Go away, or I'll skin my smoke wagon ! 😂😂😂 The Walther PPK a beautiful piece of engineering. Not so much a gun, more a piece of lethal jewellery.✌❤ Bob.
Got me a stainless. Fantastic gun. Only complaint is the metal edges can rub my hands raw. At least the one piece grip covers the back, which it doesn’t on the PPK-S.
Terribly Tactical It’s mostly near the Beavertail and the front of the grip where it’s not covered. It’s not razor sharp or anything but after a few magazines you can definitely feel it. Hoping it goes away over time if not I’ll probably take some very fine sandpaper and just lightly smooth it off.
I have the ppk (black) and like it alot and have medium hands so i dont notice the bite and pinky barely hangs off without finger support mag. Do you think it would it be worth getting the ppk/s instead since it holds 7 rds and only weighs 1.5 oz more?
As a novelty item I want this to be the only handgun I ever own. I'm seriously considering one now as my 1st time handgun purchase. I'm not a gun person but I do live in TEXAS

"PPK" is an abbreviation for Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell (police pistol - detective model)

A friend of mine bought one in 1973. It was beautiful. I lusted for that gun. I believe it was chambered in .32acp.. It just exuded quality.
Amen to that my dude! Those old guns are the best guns!
I have an older Interarms imported PPK/S in 380acp, love this gun. nice and flat. right amount of weight and light recoil. small enough to fit in my pocket with the flat magazine base , finger extension sometimes hangs up on some pockets. wonder if the PPK/S mags would work in the PPK.
Indubitably!
I still have a replica of this gun ever since the 70s ! Yah and all the Fleming books and a Bond costume too !

Beautiful weapon. I got mine from my father when he passed away. He Purchased it in the late 70's. It says made in West Germany on the side. .380 cal. It Only like to shoot hardball . Be careful, if you have large hands the slide will bite.

You ain't lying

I love the Walther PPK. Such an iconic gun and I'm glad Walther decided to make them again. My grandfather had one in 32 ACP and that was the first firearm I've ever fired. I'm hoping Walther releases one in 9mm in the future. The closes we'll ever get to that is the Walther P5, but you can't find any for under $1,500 nor are they as abundant. Recoil might not make a 9mm PPK as enjoyable to shoot though compared to 380.
Can't argue with that!
they cant make it in full power 9mm because the slide will have to lock into the barrel and release upon recoil . and the barrel is fixed with the recoil spring wrapped around it so the barrel has no place to go if it had to unlock from the slide. so they are stuck with a pure unlocked blowback system which is not strong enough for full power 9mm x19mm loads.
@@glennsammon4465 my bad bro. I didn't consider that

Just got one of these today, thanks in part to the “peaceful protests”. Not leaving my house without it now.
That's awesome! You're also only allowed to order martinis now...shaken...not stirred
How much did you get it
@@georgebravo99 I bought mine for about 750$ out the door. Was expensive for a .380 but definitely worth every penny. No malfunctions, no mods needed, no complaints whatsoever with the gun so far.
@@TerriblyTactical Well at least I’ll have good drinks for the rest of my life lmao.
I'm a serious collector of PPK and it's my favorite model from the all PP series. I carry it with me all the time.
Lots of people asks "Why not 9mm in this PPK ?" Because this gun originally designed for .32acp (7.65mm) that shoots best on it's size of the gun. If Walter produced in 9mm (9x19), your shooting hand terribly hurts, bruises and bites... even you shoot this gun in .380acp (9mm kurz/short, 9x17) kicks so hard to hit your hand hurt... but you will get used to it until you built some callus on your lower part of thumb. As a PPK shooter I am, more than tens of thousand rounds, functionally works very well that you can feeling in the range if you use .32acp caliber PPK, PPK/S or PP.
Very classic and reliable !!
the fuck are you talking about?
this gun in .380 is a pussycat.
the reason it will never be done in 9mm is because its a blowback design.
the gun would beat itself to death.
it has nothing to do with "hurting your hand"
@@killervztwogaming5796 Most likely, I hate to leave comments in UA-cam. So many people don't understand what it is. Please read again my comment and try to understand first. As of your comment, perhaps I bet you have not been shoot this gun before, have you ? Tell you what, I have my Walter collection been for 30 years that included 19 of PPK's.
When Bond "skinned this smoke wagon"...nice touch,Bruh.
Hahaha thanks
the ppk made a hugh comeback in the late 80's I've owned mine since 85' in the original Cal of 7:65mm and never regretted the purchase
Yea they're awesome guns all the way around!
This will look so good with my Hugo Boss suit.
Sure will!
Absolutely. Would also pair very well with a Brioni or Tom Ford suit.
Yes, the Walther PPK is deserving of adding to the collection! Kind of reminds me of my Polish P-64.
Yeah the p64 is a very close imitation of the Walther! Both excellent little guns indeed!
I have a S&W version, purchased about 10 years or so ago. I've never had any problems with mine. I bought it for the same reason. ...Bond.
Enjoy your new toy!
Thanks man and thanks for watching!
This is such a beautiful self defense pistol. Its small and it fits nicely into the hands. When I'm a little older ill be sure to pick this one up! Such a sexy pistol!
I definitely agree!
just brought home the nickel plate version of the ppk. going to the range tomorrow to play...i mean train.
Great unboxing...beautiful gun! I have both the PPK and PPK/s in stainless steel both made by Walther...I would say however that the factory is located in Fort Smith, Arkansas as opposed to Arizona as you mentioned.
Indeed hahah
"Walther PPK, has a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window" major boothroyd to 007 in Dr No. 1962
Exactly!
I like both of my pre-68 German made PPKs. I carry something bigger when dressed, but it’s a great bathrobe pocket gun.
And a classy one at that!
Why would you wish to carry a gun dressed in a bathrobe. What are the risks of being mugged on route from bathroom to dressing / bedroom. Then when dressed you change to a bigger weapon. Are you paranoid or something. Let me guess, some wild animal may be a secret cross dresser trying on your wifes underwear and you may just have to blow its brains out.
I know I'm a stiff assed brit but you Americans and gun culture is beyond normal understanding.
@@johnnettleton1240 it is fact that home invasions and burglaries often occur at odd hours, when the home owner is not dressed. Predators who attack young women sometimes watch the residence lights at night, until they are confident their intended victim is in the shower, then they break in and attack. My goal with my guns is the same as with my fire extinguishers and spare tires, to carry it ALWAYS, but never to need it. If everyone would carry, we might achieve that goal. Study Kennesaw, Georgia’s 1982 “gun law” and subsequent drop in crime rate.
I carried a PPKs for years as a backup -- - It was the German model. Loved it -
O "" Boy, those PPK are still beautiful today. I own a PPK 380 Chrome with mother of pearl grips. from the 1980s Made in Germany.And wear them as a backup for my Glock 20 Gen 4 every day
Niceee!!!! Classy choice indeed
John Carter Great Choice
@@stefanluginger3682 Thanks, I have bought it for 400 D-Mark in Germany new since the 1980s. I will never sell it again. this WALTHER PPK has Style
I agree that Walther PPK is an icon,I had to have one myself I bought my from a retired homicide detective. It was his backup gun. It's also a 380, but my gun's serial numbers starts with 007. Now how cool is that? Thanks I really enjoy your channel.
That is super freaking cool! Thanks for watching!
Got mine Nov, 19' waited 3 months. I ordered stainless fit and finish is superior can't beat Walther history. Paid $779 well worth it to own one of the most iconic handguns also the holy grail of .380's. Ran 100 through it incredibly accurate and ran as advertised. It now resides in my safe and is carried on an occasional basis. Also own 4 more other Walther's. By the way l own a Bersa Thunder,.380, best clone out there will ear anything and with the fixed barrel extremely accurate.
Yea the ppk is such a classic no matter what anyone says
I totally agree. The Bersa 380 Thunder is what I carry everyday, perfect clone
I have a couple Bersas. I really like the Walthers. But they're now too valuable for carry.
The Bersas have been reliable and have a better trigger.
" ....but mostly, it's just frickin' cool, man"...Non gun people will never understand this sentiment.
Amen brother!
I believe its a melonite finish. They sell quickly but for almost 880 bucks. Smith and wesson at least had bluing. I still like my ppk/s stainless from S&W.
Such a beautiful pistol, amazing.
Totally agree! Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous. This will be my first handgun. I will also research the ppks. This gun has also been used in other movies especially euro or independent ones.:p
I have a PPK in stainless steel from the mid 80’s and when I first got it, I did get slide bit until I learned not to squeeze it so tightly.
Awesome gun though nonetheless
I LOVE them. Have a PPK and PPK/S in stainless and an the actual Bond model, a Blued PPK in 7.56mm made in West Germany before the 68' Gun Act. Also got a P99 back in the late 90s when he switched to it, except I got the titanium coated upper.
Walther PPK would definitely be a choice for a 380. These are well made & I also like all steel guns. Great that your advocating for our 2nd Amendment, we should welcome newbie gun owners, not sit them in the corner uninformed.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Bond didn’t want to switch to the Walther. He preferred his Beretta .25. The Walther is a beautiful piece though.
James....leave the beretta
Take the Walther
The slides are made in Germany, as far as I know.
Ok cool that's what I thought thanks!
Congrats on your PPK. They're an awesome handgun. One of my friends has one, which I've fired at the range, and it IS sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! The PPK might just be my next Holy Grail gun. I just got my Sgt. Joe Friday gun last week at a local gun show, a Smith and Wesson M & P sub nose (pre-model 10 made in 1948), so I know how jazzed you are with the PPK.
That's awesome brother! I love the old classics!
I just bought my used Walther PPK/S .380 in all black, come with two 7rd mag. I pefer the black one over the stainless one. My was $599.99 plus taxs and shipping so total $634.28. I was going to get the Bersa Thunder .380 for $250-300 but i decided to not be cheap and get the Walther ppk/s .380 instead. My should be here in a few days at my FFL then i can go pick it up. I can't wait! To excited
Yeah the ppk is definitely worth it man, you made the right choice!
@@TerriblyTacticalmine said Made In W. GERMANY on the left slide. I'm glad its not the newer made one in USA.
@@Glockaholic91 indeed
A man of my own heart.
It's excellent to see they have lengthened the beaver tail, had a PPK back in the day, and that sucker bit me every time I shot it. May have to look into getting one of these. Excellent review. Thank you
Thanks!
I would personally either buy a WW2 era PPK or something made in West Germany after the war. I don't like the finish on this gun whatsoever; the traditional blued steel look is by far the best looking imo. I'm guessing this one is made of stainless steel so they use aluminum blackener on it as it won't react to gun blue properly. Apart from that the old school grips just feel better in the hand, at least as far as I have experienced. (Bakelite feels the best; it cracks easier than plastic but it has that smooth ivory texture to it) Also, the markings on the modern gun would totally ruin it for me. This is a classic German gun and it should have German markings as far as I'm concerned. I could never be happy with a gun bought as a trinket, meant to capitalize on the fame of it's predecessor. It's like buying one of those remake watches with 'James Bond' written on the dial. So fucking tacky... if you want Bonds watch, buy the same model he wore in the movie... and buy the same gun he used in the movies. (of which there were many actually, including the PPK-L, PP and Browning 1910 of all things) Finally, that extended beaver-tail is UUUUGLYYYY! I'm 6'4 and have big hands but I still rather get bit by the hammer while shooting than have to look at that monstrosity. Grasp it lower on the grip, that's what the pinkie extension is there for. :)
I appreciate your traditionalism
Sax and Phone I thought your review was a little harsh, to say the least....then I watched the entire video, and I think you’re spot-on on everything you mention. 😢
I've owned two PPK's on via Interarms in 380 and one via S&W in 32 . . and still have a German PP . . . I don't like the look of the longer beaver tail at all . . . never had the older ones bite me . . still, this is a great gun. Love the PPK far more than the PPK/s. . . glad it's back.
Did you mean: "Lana. Lana? Lana!? *inhale* LANAAA!!!" -"What!?" -"Danger Zone!"
I still have a PPK/s from before the 40s. Old, yet very reliable
Hellz yea!!!
@@TerriblyTactical all black except for the barrel. A perfect EDC and CC firearm
@@LegoLegend2017 yea gorgeous guns no doubt!
If you have a PPK from the 40s it would be worth quite a bit of money.
I got the stainless version a few months ago. Loved it so much I got the “Black” version too. I prefer the stainless, but the Black gave me an excuse to get another.
For me, after shooting them enough to be satisfied they have no issues, they are simply cool guns to have in the collection. Maybe a classy carry on occasion.
Hell yeaaa!
The legendary FPS in N64, Goldeneye 007, made this gun somehow hold 7 rounds instead of 6. The PPK is a cool little gun, though I prefer the larger PP. That gun isn't just James Bond's trademark gun, but Adolf Hitler killed himself with this exact same weapon, too! Two famous uses! Remember when the infamous Scaramanga (RIP Christopher Lee) said in one moment "My Golden Gun against your Walther PPK"? The Gold PP7 in the Goldeneye game is a cross of their weapons together, turning the PPK into a gold death pistol that's even more useful than the traditional Golden Gun.
Fun fact: Ian Fleming, the man behind 007, actually did NOT start Bond with this gun; he began with a .25 Beretta 418 in the first novels until Dr. No, until he switched to the Walther PPK on the advice of a firearm expert named Geoffrey Boothroyd. The Dr. No film however, had Bond/Felix actually use PPs, not PPKs.
Truth!
I have an Italian made Bernadelli Model 80 (.380 ACP)...its a Walther PPK clone (for the most part)... It was my dads, he bought it at a pawn shop in the 80s. It's a very good running firearm. It has a mag release at the bottom of the mag well, which is not too convenient...and a bit stiff. It's not a quick reload gun. But I only have one mag for it anyway. Its a fun gun to shoot. Its good as an extra gun to stage for home defense. I occasionally take it as my car gun, as well.
They are pretty plentiful on the used gun market. They come in at about an average of $250. You can find them with 2 mags, and original owners manual, etc... pretty easily. I researched mine as best I could, not a lot of info out there though. I believe mine was made in the late 60's. Anyway... if you're looking for a decent Walther clone that wont break the bank... its a good option.
That's awesome! I also always recommend a 9x18 mak of any variety seeing as they are all pretty much ppk clones!
You lucky, lucky, lucky Bastard! (when said in an Australian accent, "Bastard" can almost be considered a term of endearment, so think on that before you get too bent outta shape :-)
Probably ok without the explanation. Work on your delivery.
It is definitely an iconic piece, and I may get me one as a collectible item some day. Whenever I get to wear a tux I'll buy me a shoulder holster and carry the Walther PPK for the occasion. Hell, I may even surprise my wife and call her Moneypenny... That said, I still prefer my Glock 26 for carry on.
Lol niceee
So f'n lame that they don't blue all these new guns... SOOO LAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!! It should at least be an option as I would gladly pay extra!!!
Amen to that my dude
Our ppk came in 3 code lock boxes with a code and felt lining.
I know! That's the new packaging and it's way nicer lol! Story of my life hahah.
I have a ppk/s in 32 auto. In stainless. And love it
Thats awesome
To this day can't understand why they don't make a PPK-ish in 9mm.
Given the blow-back construction, I think the thrust of a 9mm might be excessive for the frame.
They did/do, the P5. The PPK frame is too weak for 9mm.
@@frankberry9642 Yes, no doubt. But I mean a pistol that _looks_ almost like it, but is in 9mm...
My first pistol was a German made 380 Ppk/s, later retired it and carried an Interarms made in USA stainless Ppk . Custom ambi safety, which should be standard or optional , custom springs DA around 10 lbs, sa 5 lbs. carried it for years. Replaced it a few yrs back for pocket carry with a 13. 5 ounce Colt Mustang Pocketlite. With its locked breech action a dream to shoot and line the Ppk , accurate and dependable. The Walther is a classic but it is being eclipsed by small light 9 mm pistols. If Walther would offer an alloy frame with the weight dropped to around 14 ounces , it would make a nice pocket pistol. As is it is too heavy and will be a collectible pistol. Get one now because it’s’ days are numbered. The prom queen is a grandmother

Solid insight!
I'm posting the Bond video from Dr. No. Ian Flemming was in MI6 during WW2. The gentleman in the video bringing the Walther is a retired MI6 agent and a friend of Ian. He suggested that Flemming use the PPK because the CIA and MI6 agents used the PPK for over 20 years in the field. Both agencies had unlimited resources to use any fire arm in the world or have one of them manufacture a new model as Sig Saur did for the presidential Secret Service. As the government spent fortunes to train field agents, they wanted to make sure they had the best conceal carry pistol. Walther PPK was chosen. Since they've been around ever since 1908, all of the bugs are out of it. It fits in a pair of jeans front pocket Interesting video below. ua-cam.com/video/tU98uP7pXA8/v-deo.html
I sold mine 2 year's ago & real sad about it. Best little compact I've ever owned.
You should definitely get one back in the collection my dude
@@TerriblyTactical agreed. Mine was stainless. I want a black one like yours next time round.
Nice but I'll stick with the older PP's and PPK's from Germany and France.
I don't necessarily have that option right now and as well I wanted something to shoot and possibly carry and not worry about destroying a collectable
@@TerriblyTactical I understand what you mean there. I tend to carry a modern 9 or 45, but if I carried a small caliber it would be a Walther or Cz.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing this with us! I bet they'll release a blued version next year.
Love my p38. Would like a new one mines from the 60s. Glad to say they modified it a bit to keep your hands from getting torn up. Don't have that at all with the p38.
Awesome gun, but I can’t stomach the beaver tail tang. Are there any gunsmiths that are reducing the size of this?
I'm sure there are out there but it definitely would cost quite a bit considering you'd then have to refinish the gun as well
Beautiful gun. As a huge James Bond fan I want one. I just can't find one anywhere
Place an order with your local shop for one. You will probably have to wait but it's worth it!
Gunbuyer. Only have stainless. Little pricey but I'm waiting for mine ordered it 3 days ago.
@@TerriblyTactical I maybe getting one real soon.Probably in the next few weeks or a month,My FFL is going to order me one.He's going to order me a black one so that may take a few weeks to come in
PpkS has the 1.2 " wide width @ lower grips, which was the " compromise" used to allow import!!
I'd be interested if they offered one in the original .32acp/7.65 chambering. Those are hard to find these days, at least for a decent price.
As would I good sir!
I was issued with one of the original ppk's ( made entirely in the Karl Walter factory in Germany) as a sidearm whilst a police officer, regretted not buying one when I retired. Very difficult to source.
Love this gun, and the configuration you have (black, and ppk not ppk/s) is exactly the one I’ve been wanting. I’m an all metal gun guy myself so I would want to carry it. On that note, not many videos on the new ppk at all, and I honestly think you might be the only person who had reviewed this configuration. So my question is, have you taken it out yet? And if so how has it faired in terms of reliability?
Thanks in advance!! Love the channel.
Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet unfortunately but I've shot the new ones and like I said they shoot really well.
finally someone uploaded a video of the new ppk. this is honestly one of my favorite pistols. very near the top, if not at the top, on my list of guns to buy. also glad you got the ppk, not the ppk/s. the ppk/s looks a bit wacky; the grip shouldnt be that long.
Amen to that my dude!
Thanks for watching!
The frame of the PPK/S is actually a PP frame. Walther should have continued production of the PP. Only difference between a PPK/S and PP is half inch in slide length.
It's great Walther has brought back the PPK. I didn't know they stopped producing them. :)
The PPK. Only reason to buy one is if y you're a Bond fan. Walther should know this and should have produced a 32 as well. For for the fans.
I'd carry one as a backup. Unfortunately up here in Canada we have an annoying "barrels must be a minimum of 4""...so we can't have Walther's. :P
That sucks but yeah the 32 would've been awesome
If you include the official movies James Bond did carry a PPK/S 9mm
Ppk was never made in 9mm
When Bond "skinned this smokewagon" lmao, love it. Always love me a good Tombstone reference.
Thats lame of Walther that its not a blued finish like originally and just a "black" finish. TF.
Yea but the melonite finish it has is definitely more durable but yes definitely not nearly as classy
@@TerriblyTactical True, but people buy the PPK for its history/tradition/nostalgia like you said, and not bluing it turns away from tradition. I'm gonna just get a stainless one (even though they were never offered in stainless when made in Germany haha). I have had 2 blued S&W models in the past, so wanna change it up. Btw, I never had any issues with either of my S&W PPK's. Idk why people always bash them so much. I certainly think they are better than the Interarms versions just simply due to the fact of the extended beavertail. It's a huge and very much needed improvement over the original.
My LGS can’t get his hands on them. Would love to have one but where are they?
I waited 8 months for mine to come in
Go on Gunbroker. I picked up one in 7.65 for $500 and then paid another $100 to have it refinished.

Outstanding video, thanks. Since you have your new firearm, all you need is the tuxedo, an Aston Martin and “Pussy Galore” in the passenger seat. On a more serious note, every gun owner in the US owes a serious debt of gratitude to Sam Cummings the founder of Interarms. He imported boatloads of these WWII surplus pistols into the US. He was a true American patriot and a proud Virginian. The Interarms warehouse on Union Street in Alexandria, VA was a fortress of freedom. I bought my war surplus PP at the Potomac Arms/Full Metal Jacket shop next door to Interarms in the 1980s. Sadly, all of that is now ancient history here in Northern Virginia due to oppressive local government gun control policies.
Amen to all of that!

32ACP 👍
7.65/17mm 👍
What are you talking about man its just Almost same power 32ACP 380 ACP

.380acp is significantly more powerful than .32acp buddy.
I have a Bersa Thunder which is a clone of the PPK.
dondi2261 i have the Bersa thunder plus too, it is really a similar of the PPK.
Yeah man! I bought the Ppks in stainless just cuz it's cool as hell with no intention of carrying it. Then I shot the damn thing and couldn't put it down! Shoots every time! I've been carrying it ever since.
Yea I love mine man, great lil shooter for sure
Not interested if its not in tne original .32 acp.
You would be interested to know that Walther also made in 9mm for about 10 yrs though it wasn`t very popular most people ordered it in 32 acp. then some in .22
Go away, or I'll skin my smoke wagon ! 😂😂😂 The Walther PPK a beautiful piece of engineering. Not so much a gun, more a piece of lethal jewellery.✌❤ Bob.
Agreed!
Got me a stainless. Fantastic gun. Only complaint is the metal edges can rub my hands raw. At least the one piece grip covers the back, which it doesn’t on the PPK-S.
I haven't noticed any real sharp edges on mine
Terribly Tactical It’s mostly near the Beavertail and the front of the grip where it’s not covered. It’s not razor sharp or anything but after a few magazines you can definitely feel it. Hoping it goes away over time if not I’ll probably take some very fine sandpaper and just lightly smooth it off.
I have the ppk (black) and like it alot and have medium hands so i dont notice the bite and pinky barely hangs off without finger support mag. Do you think it would it be worth getting the ppk/s instead since it holds 7 rds and only weighs 1.5 oz more?
Great classic firearm. TFS brother.
