..in 9mm kurz. Anyone have any info on it?

[epwegmann]

What sort of info? You're question is beyond vague...

The .380 Walther PPK/S was a concession to the 1968 GCA and consists of a PPK slide on a PP frame. The importer was Interarms in Virgina and from what I remember the parts were manufactured by Manurhin in France and assembled in Germany. The only one from that time period I have ever personally handled was a fine shooter and identical in quality to the all-German PP and PPK models in all meaningful ways.

Thanks for the info. A friend lost her father and inherited some firearms one of which is the ppks. It has the Alexandria interarms on one side of the slide and whatnot. She wants to sell it and im thinking of buying it

9mm Kurz means 9mm short
Which means 380

It's the James Bond gun

Might want it checked out, it may be a special one, that could be worth more than most

It has wear on the slide and has the black plastic grips. The trigger feels tough but I like it.

What would make it special?

Actually, Bond used a .32 ACP Pre war PPK with the 90 degree safety sweep. Post war models were developed with a shorter 60 degree sweep.

"Special" or not, buy it. You will love it.

I don't recall what makes done more special than others
Yours sounds like mine
Yes it has a heck of a heavy trigger pull, as it's more or less a pocket gun, double action is heavy then the subsequent single action pulls are easier
Go shoot it, you'll love it I bet

OP
Do your friend right by paying a good price for it. They are fine pistols and a classic design. Arguably one of the best looking pistols ever produced.
I let mine get away at a time when I really needed the money. If you have large hands, the slide can bite you.

Listen to q, in his explanation
Skyfall: Quoting Q; The Walther PPK/S nine-millimeter short. It's been coded to your palmprint so only you can fire it.

its in at least one previous I'm sure
Oh man, don't make me watch all those again

edit: PPK is his issued sidearm in a number of the bond series, not sure of the caliber of them, but not the ppk/s, only skyfall has the ppk/s (i think)
