Gun Stories Online: Walther PPK | Down Range TV

Show Sponsors: MidwayUSA * Daniel Defense * DoubleStar Corp. Streamlight * Rock Island Armory The Walther Model PPK came on the market in 1931 as a compact version of the larger Walther PP. The fame of the PPK model was due in part to the many James Bond movies. The Model PPK stands for Polizei Pistol Kurz and was also known as the Polizei Pistole Kriminal. The PPK was mainly successful in the US, but the import of this model ended in with the American Gun Control Act of 1968. To meet new requirements on minimum height for imported guns, Walther designed a new version called the Walther PPK/S.
