German made Walther PPK/S 9MM Kunz/380 ACP Semi Auto Pistol 1970 - Ex Cond
Description: This is an N-marked (Nitro Proof) 1970 West German-made PPK/S in all original condition. There are no importer marks, only marked Walther in Banner, Made in West Germany, Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do Model PPK/S Cal. 9mmkurz with N and crown mark. It does not come with the original case, but it does come in an after-market hard case. It also comes with the two original seven rd magazines and a finger extender. The pistol is in great shape. The PPK/s features the “sport” frame, which is approximately one-quarter inch longer than the standard PPK frame. This allows you to increase from the 6-round capacity of the PPK to a 7-round capacity by only adding a half-ounce to the overall weight. The original Walther PP (Polizeipistole or police pistol) has been around since 1931 and has seen use by a lot of police and military officers in its long history. The PP had a 3.9-inch barrel and offered a seven-round capacity of .380 ACP (it was also chambered in .32 ACP). The PPK variant came about shortly thereafter, and it combined a shorter 3.3-inch barrel with a 0.4-inch shorter grip frame, which reduced capacity by one. The PPK/S version made its debut in 1968 and was a direct result of our Gun Control Act of 1968. The GCA banned the import of pistols that didn’t meet certain “sporting” criteria based on size, weight, and features, and the PPK was too small. To meet the GCA criteria, the PPK/S (the “S” stands for sporting) combined the short PPK slide with the larger PP frame. For decades, the PPK and PPK/S were the carry guns of professionals (and a certain famous spy), and after a lull of a few years, Walther is once again offering the PPK/S and PPK. New versions of both models are currently being built in the United States by Walther Arms, which is why the PPK can be sold here now. I secured a sample of the new PPK/S for review. The PPK/S is a traditional double-action/single-action pistol chambered in .380 ACP (the only chambering offered) with a decocking safety lever on the left side of the slide. The barrel is 3.3 inches long. It’s an all-steel pistol, and unloaded with an empty magazine, the Walther tipped my electronic scale at 23.7 ounces. The pistol measures 6.1 by 4.3 inches and comes with two seven-round magazines—one flush and one with an extended polymer finger hook.
