Dec 30, 2010. Good day, my friends. All of us know about the mystery of the dates of manufacture in regards to our beloved Interarms PPK and PPK/S pistols.

Original Walther PP pistol. PPK [ ] The most common variant is the Walther PPK, a smaller version of the PP with a shorter, barrel and frame, and reduced magazine capacity. A new, two-piece wrap-around grip panel construction was used to conceal the exposed back strap. The smaller size made it more concealable than the original PP and hence better suited to plainclothes or work. Acer Aspire One D257 Drivers Windows 7 Starter on this page.

It was released in 1930. 'PPK' is an abbreviation for Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell (Detective Police Pistol), While it's often thought to be 'kurz' (German 'short') referring to the police Pistol with a shorter barrel and frame, the manufacturer's selection of the name 'Kriminal' appears in early original advertising brochures from Walther and the 1937 GECO German catalog. Shot and killed himself with his PPK (a 7.65mm/) in the in.

South Korean dictator was shot and killed by, using the Walther PPK. The Walther PPK pistol is famous as fictional secret agent 's gun in many of the and: 's choice of the Walther PPK directly influenced its popularity and its notoriety. Fleming had given Bond a.25 pistol in early novels, but switched to the PPK in Dr. No on the advice of firearms expert. Singer owned a silver-finish PPK, inscribed 'TCB' ('Taking Care of Business'). PPK/S [ ] The PPK/S was developed following the enactment of the (GCA68) in the United States, the pistol's largest market.

One of the provisions of GCA68 banned the importation of pistols and revolvers not meeting certain requirements of length, weight, and other 'sporting' features into the United States. The PPK failed the 'Import Points' test of the GCA68 by a single point. Walther addressed this situation by combining the PP's frame with the PPK's barrel and slide to create a pistol that weighed slightly more than the PPK. The additional ounce or two of weight of the PPK/S compared to the PPK was sufficient to provide the extra needed import points.

Because United States law allowed domestic production (as opposed to importation) of the PPK, manufacture began under license in the U.S. In 1983; this version was distributed. The version currently manufactured by in has been modified (by Smith & Wesson) by incorporating a longer (S&W calls it 'extended beaver tail'), better protecting the shooter from, i.e., the rearward-traveling slide's pinching the web between the index finger and thumb of the firing hand, which could be a problem with the original design for people with larger hands or an improper grip, especially when using 'hotter' cartridge loads. The PPK/S is made of. The PPK/S differs from the PPK as follows: • Overall height: 104 mm (4.1 in) vs. 100 mm (3.9 in) • Weight: the PPK/S weighs 51 g (1.8 oz) more than the PPK • The PPK/S magazine holds one additional round, in both calibers. The PPK/S and the PPK are offered in the following calibers: (with capacities of 8 for PPK/S and 7 for PPK); or (PPK/S: 7; PPK: 6).

The PPK/S is also offered in with capacity of 10 rounds. A Walther PPK-L manufactured in 1966 In the 1960s, Walther produced the PPK-L, which was a light-weight variant of the PPK. The PPK-L differed from the standard, all steel PPK in that it had an frame. These were only chambered in 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) and.22 LR because of the increase in felt recoil from the lighter weight of the gun. All other features of the postwar production PPK (brown plastic grips with Walther banner, high polished blue finish, lanyard loop, loaded chamber indicator, 7+1 magazine capacity and overall length) were the same on the PPK-L. PP Super [ ] First marketed in 1972, this was an all-steel variant of the PP chambered for the cartridge. Designed as a police service pistol, it was a blowback operated, double-action pistol with an external slide-stop lever and a firing-pin safety.

A manual decocker lever was on the left side of the slide; when pushed down, it locked the firing pin and released the hammer. When the 9×19mm Parabellum was chosen as the standard service round by most of the German police forces, the experimental 9mm Ultra round fell into disuse. Only about 2,000 PP Super pistols were sold to German police forces in the 1970s, and lack of sales caused Walther to withdraw the PP Super from their catalogue in 1979. PPK/E [ ] Walther PPK/E Type Semi-automatic pistol Production history Designed 2000 Manufacturer Specifications Length 155 mm (6.1 in) length 83 mm (3.3 in) Width 30 mm (1.2 in) Height 113 mm (4.4 in),.32 ACP, and.380 ACP Straight blowback Sights Fixed, rear notch and front blade At the 2000 Internationale Waffen-Ausstellung (—International Weapons Exhibition) in, Walther announced a new PPK variant designated as the PPK/E. The PPK/E resembles the PPK/S and has a blue steel finish; it is manufactured under license by in Hungary. Despite the resemblance between the two, certain PP-PPK-PPK/S parts, such as magazines, are not interchangeable with the PPK/E.

Official factory photographs do not refer to the pistol's Hungarian origins. Instead, the traditional Walther legend ('Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do.' ) is stamped on the left side of the slide. The PPK/E is offered in,.32 ACP, and.380 ACP calibers.

A Stainless PPK made under License by Ranger Arms Manufacturing [ ] Walther's original factory was located in in the ' (state) of. As that was occupied by the following World War II, Walther fled to, where they established a new factory in. For several years following the war, the Allied powers forbade any manufacture of weapons in Germany. As a result, in 1952, Walther licensed production of the PP series pistols to a French company,, also known as. The French company continued to manufacture the PP series until 1986. In 1978, of was licensed to manufacture the PPK and PPK/S; this version was distributed by of. This license was eventually canceled.

Starting in 2002, (S&W) began manufacturing the PPK and PPK/S under license until 2017 when Walther began producing them again at their new US manufacturing plant in Fort Smith, Arkansas. In February 2009, S&W issued a recall for PPKs it manufactured for a defect in the hammer block safety. Users [ ] •:.
