ppk clones

[clipofblanks]

Anyone know of ppk or ppk/s clone on the roster?

The SIG P232 is a PPK v2.0.

The Bersa Thunder also looks similar to the PPK, but I'd personally take the P232. The trigger is much better than the PPK's.

p232 all the way ive seen a few in the classified

They are not on the CA DOJ list anymore.
Bersa's where grandfathered into the DOJ list, when they modified the pistol to have a keylock CA DOJ said that they would have to be retested because it had been modified.

Since they do not have the needed safety features to be tested they fell off the list.

As you know, the Bersa Thunder 380 was grandfathered onto the California DOJ approved handgun list.* It was allowed to be sold in California in several finishes and does very well there.* Well, I am sorry to say that as of this past Friday, we have been notified by the DOJ that the Bersa Thunder 380 has been removed from the approved list and can no longer be bought in California.* The main problem is that Bersa added the “key lock” feature to the slide, which CA deems is altering the function of the pistol, thus requiring us to have the pistol retested.* Only problem is, we can’t have the pistol retested because it does not have a loaded chamber indicator and that is one of the main requirements.
Long story short, we added a new safety feature, making the pistol even more safe, but we have to stop selling them in California.* Please remove all Bersa handguns from being sold in to California until further notice.
We will see what we can do about getting our pistols compliant and give it another shot.* Sorry for the news, as I know CA is a large market for most of you.* Also, please pass this on to the appropriate departments so that all your sales teams know what is going on.
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.
Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Best,
Rafael

OP if you want a PPK or clone look for one on the used market as a PPT does not consult the list..

CZ-50, it's C&R and roster exempt. I have one and it's a great gun. Feels like you're shooting a .22



Not mine, found this picture on the interwebs

Thank you all for the replies. I'm going to see if I can find a ppk/s through ppt when I can . If not the Sig p232 looks like a great alternative.

Good point.
While it isn't so much a clone as a look alike there's also the Polish P-64.
It is also C&R and roster exempt.
But it does not feel like a .22 ...

Yeah, no way you can confuse any .22 and and a P-64.

I have one of those too, and this one is mine.
