I bought my PPK/S about 6 months ago. Put 400+ rounds though it. (sorry lost count) I have yet to have a jam or misfire with my PPK/S. It is very accurate and a joy to shoot and I love owning it, its

I bought a new stainless PPK in Feb. 2005. I experienced many many jams with hollow points. Enough to lot be able to use this weapon for my off duty backup. I called WaltherAmerica and they had me send

I bought this gun as a backup after I got tired of being jammed in the ribs with my baby glock. I love it. It is small yet solid gun. My older PPK doesnt have the larger tail below the hammer like

I had a PPK back in the 80s - a fine pistol I traded after 10 years. I now have the S&W PPK/S. Im quite happy with it! Like some others said, I have other pistols, but keep returning to the little Walther.

I just bought a S & W PPK/S and love it. Fired 30 rounds thru it so far with no problems at all. Will test more before committing it to a carry weapon, but I can see no reason for any problems. Excellent qaulity.

I own a Glock 20, when my friend came up to visit me with a Walther PPK in a .380 Auto, I was a little hesitant - the bullets fit into the spent 10mm casing with only a tad of the bullet tip extending

I bought my new S & W PPK/S .380 about a week ago and just got back from firing 50 rounds of magtech ball ammo with no problems whatsoever. I have read some cases from here and there about it being prone

I have mixed comments on this weapon. I have a Stainless PPK/s purchased used about 8 years ago. First, I love the size. It is fairly acurate and the sights are a little hard to see. It would be a great

Great gun. I have owned this 16 years and just now had to replace the hammer and recoil spring.

I just bought a Walther PPK/S , took it to the range and had no problems at all , with full metal jackets or hollow points. The main problem came to field stripping the gun. I am unable to pull the slide

I just bought a Walther PPK/S 3 days ago and after putting 100 rounds through it at the range, without any troubles yesterday, field stripped the gun. After removing the slide, which came off easily enough,

I too field stripped my PPK/S and the ejector spring and ejector popped out. I was able to reinsert it with difficulty.
I tried the 380 95gr. BEB, also fed fine. only ammo that
stovepipes is the Federal Hydro shock. I love the gun and will now carry with the Winchester Silvertip HP

My two week old PPK/S-1 is on its way back to the factory, suffering a complete failure of the DA trigger linkage. This, after 35 rounds. Good accuracy at 15 feet, a joy to shoot, itll be awhile before I can trust it again.

I use the 85 Gr Silvertip and neither has let me down. I replaced the springs and ejector after 18 years but that is about all. I got the springs from Woff and the ejector from S & W with no problems.

I recieved my gun back from Walther, they said the recoil spring was to long which they adjusted and now I can field strip the gun. Tried it at the range the other day, had no problems.

Ive had an FEG knockoff of the PPK/S for 10 years and never had troubles with it. So I felt safe purchasing one of the new stainless models. I have had constant jams, culminating with the slide stop/ejector

I retract my previous review. After numerous jams and three trips to the gunsmith, I cant trust this thing with anything other then looking pretty and going to the range. That is why I switched back to my Glock 26.

Strangely, like pop I have to retract my statement. I got the part from S&W and the new ejector/slide stop s much beefier. It fired with only a single jam over 100 rounds.
The kick, however, is

Had two Walthers in 380, one Interarms and one S&W. Both were great except when I lost the extracter spring. To be honest, I did not know it fell out of the gun when I field stripped it the first time

How do you remove the barrel? I got a compensated barrel from Sportsmans Guide for 60 bucks but I cant get the stock barrel out. I had jamming problems with my PPK/S when I got it, but it was the ammo.

Well, once again Ive had the gun out to the range...and once again, its jamming like crazy. So shes off to the advert section of the paper. Ill stick with the FN 5.7 or the little Kel-Tec .32 if I need something small.

Purchased the PPK/S a week ago and have been to the range once. Shot about 60 rounds with two slight jams... slide didnt go all the way forward on the feed. Still was very impressed. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO MAKES A LASER SIGHT FOR THIS MODEL? Thanks!
