I have a P99 in .40 which is a great gun, but it is too large for concealed. Id like a PPK .380 but it seems like all I can find is .22LR. Not a terrible caliber but Id prefer 380. Any leads on new or gently used?

also PPK/S (magazine holds one more cartridge)

aim for pre-1965 (I think), and stay away from those built when S&W took over, some had recalls

Those made by Interarms (Arkansas? Virginia?) are good

Stainless preferred

something like this:

The pinky finger hook you can put on the magazines really helps keep it in your hand:

magazine end cap "finger rests" for Walther PPK and PPK/s magazines

see magazines with rest here:

The little rest can be purchased separately and easily attached to the magazine (slides on base)

makes a world of difference

Have you looked at the Bersa Thunder? It's a bargain basement PPK copy and the ones I have seen are reliable. Academy has them under $300.

Walther is machined in Europe and assembled and tuned in Fort Smith at the Umerx plant. Solid pistols and air guns built by folks that care.

Your choice of the Walter PPK 38 cal is right on. I have one my Dad brought back from WWII and it is an exceptional little weapon. I hope you find what you want. I'm going to look into the Bersa Thunder for an alternative shooter.

I've never heard of the Bersa but I'll give it a look. It's hard to pass on the real thing though.

Walther opened a plant in the USA last year and is making their own PPK/S in .380. These are not under license, but actually made by Walther.

Bersa is a piece of junk IMO.

It's like their reading my/our mind(s). Walther just sent me their monthly newletter and one article was about the fabulous PPK and PPK/s calibered in .380 is going back into production and should be hitting stores IN WEEKS!

This is great news!
