Frequently Asked Questions
Walther PPK/S .22 LR for sale
Is the Walther PPKs 22LR a good gun?
Whether it's good depends on your needs. It's reliable, well-made, and compact for plinking or casual range use. The two-piece barrel design feels less refined than traditional builds, but functions acceptably. At around $370, it costs more than comparable rimfire options. Iconic styling appeals to Bond fans.
What are the common problems with a Walther PPK-S?
PPK/S .22 LR models commonly experience failures to eject with cheaper bulk ammo; they perform best with high-velocity rounds like CCI Mini Mags. Users also report heavy double-action trigger pull and subpar sights. Some early examples had feeding issues or hammer problems, though proper cleaning and lubrication usually resolve these.
What's the difference between a Walther PPK and a Walther PPK S?
The PPK/S has a longer grip frame from the full-size PP, giving it one additional round of capacity and better control. The PPK has a shorter grip, making it more concealable. The PPK/S was created to meet US import regulations introduced in 1968. Walther has since suspended production of both models.
What does the S stand for in Walther PPK S?
The "S" likely stands for "Speziell," though sources vary. The PPK/S combines the PPK slide with the larger PP frame, engineered to meet 1968 US import regulations while improving magazine capacity and handling compared to the original compact PPK.
What is the best ammo for a Walther PPK/S?
The PPK/S is most commonly chambered in .380 ACP. For defense, quality loads like Hornady XTP or Black Hills HoneyBadger 60-grain perform well. For range practice, Winchester USA or Remington UMC are solid choices. A .22 LR variant exists, but most PPK/S ammo discussions center on .380 ACP.
Are Walther PPKs still being made?
Yes, Walther PPKs were manufactured at its U.S. facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas, but Walther Arms has since announced a formal multi-year suspension of production for the PPK, PPK/S, and PP lines as part of a long-term product vision change. New units are no longer being made currently.
