Walther PPK .32 ACP

I have an original 1941 PPK in .32 ACP. It's my ankle holster gun when waist carry is not practical. It's a cool piece of history.

Well I just ordered a new Ft. Smith Walther PPK .32 ACP. Should be here in a few days. My bucket list is now complete!

It's on my shopping list at some point.

My new PPK .32 ACP is now in my hands. Fit and finish are first rate. I will take it out and fire it later in the week. Got this off my bucket list. I’m not sure how long Walther will produce these. I wanted one incase down the road they discontinue this in .32.

I inherited this PP made in 1930. I have put many thousands through it and even carried it for awhile before I picked up better options. Some folks over on Walther Forum opined that it is too valuable to shoot, but I see no point in denying myself the pleasure for a few more dollars in my estate.

If you haven't shot a PPK or PPK/s, I recommend you try one before you buy.

100% agree I bought one for me and my wife .....both 380 .... never again I thought at the time early 90's that they were the ultimate CC pistol at the time . I will not own one again sold both in the early 2000's . Slide bite nasty ..l so many better options out there now .

I'd much rather have a Colt 1903 .32 hammerless

I still kick myself for passing on a Colt 1903 Hammerless in .380. Was helping the widow of a friend sell it, but she never did, and often I'd thought about buying from her, but I had other things I wanted more. Then she passed away and no one knows what happened the the guns she still had from her husband's collection.

How is everybody holding it? I have a PPK/S (74 vintage 380) and have never been bitten by the slide.
Not saying they are real fun to shoot, lot of trigger slap, and they are a snappy gun.
Little heavy to carry but that weight feels comforting in your hand.

Snappy ...I'd rather shoot a .38 snub than a PPK 380 . .32 might be different. Love my Beretta Tomcat .32 . Just no longer a fan of the straight blowback Walther .

I can understand why Bond wanted to keep his .25 Beretta vs the Walther .
