It says they are just pausing production while they engineer updates to the design to modernize it. They aren't discontinuing them.

I'm so glad to hear they are not cutting off their PPs.

Must be due to those PPK switches turning them into machine guns, lol.

Oh Pops use to love those little 22lr, 32acp, and 380acp pistols. That double action pull 😳 on those guns.

He said PPs...lol.

I had an Interarms PPKS in .380. Bought in 90.

At my age now recoil too stout and racking slide difficult.

Sold it.

Could have bought a .32 PPK Germany at the Army Rod and Gun Club in 1978 but didn’t.

Maybe Walther will redesign with a poly frame, a 1 1/2 stack magazine, and eliminate the 'slide bite' of the original PP/PPK/PPKS models...

I'm happy with my ULM marked PPK/S and PP.

The only appeal they have is to people who like 007 and bond hasn't used a PPK in years. Manufacturing cost/time has to be crazy high compared to the rest of their modern pistols.

An aluminum framed pistol the size of a PPK in 32 acp but either short recoil operated or some sort of delayed blowback would be nice smooth shooter. Would be great for recoil sensitive people as well.

I used to own a Bersa .380 and was put off by how the recoil was more snappier than a 9mm.

I believe the Walther 380 was about the only minimum slim pocket pistol around ( they had the 22lr /32 acp and sig 232 ) but for 380’s I think that was it.

offhand, it was all steel, a heavy trigger pull, tiny sights, and 6/7 capacity, except for the sig it was considered very good quality.
