I’ve had my Walther ppk/s .22 for 6500 rounds. I’ve found that it likes CCI mini mags target copper coated because they have a more consistent and accurate fill of propellant. It will jam 1% of these cartridges, and after 200 rounds will jam sometimes 2-3%. It needs to be well cleaned and lubricated at 400 rounds which is fairly easy to do. I had to replace the main recoil spring at 4500 rounds, bought from Walther Arms. I highly recommend this firearm if you think my observations are reasonable. Bought it for $400 in 2022.

22 bullets can tumble and fragment. Hitting soft tissue,it can cause severe tissue damage. A 40 grain 22 LR's muzzle velocity runs between 1080 fps, and 1280. A CCO Stinger 32 gr. 22 lR 1,640 fps. In the 80's I observed the 'bigger' is better. However, it doesn't take much to nick an artery. Ballistic Gel is not the same as a human encumbered with the variables of panic, fear. The mentality of facing a person who may just kill you requires steely nerves. A Pro who faces a gun, may stay cool, but I have seen what happens to regular people who bought a gun for self-defense, then unexpectedly the possibility of imminent death is facing them. So I wonder if those who decry the 22 as weak and ineffective, who are smug into the 'bigger is better notion; what do they think when facing a gunman with a 22: "Oh, it is only a 22, I'm a badass, and can handle it." I say that is a candidate for a dead man walking; club T-shirt. I've heard that talk several times here. A 40-grain bullet brings a muzzle velocity between 1,080 and 1,280. 22 bullets can tumble and fragment. Hitting soft tissue,it can cause severe tissue damage. A 40 grain 22 LR's muzzle velocity runs between 1080 fps, and 1280. A CCO Stinger 32 gr. 22 lR 1,640 fps.
As compelling as the ballistic gel is, it is not a human body. Smashing into bone, blood, and arteries even with a 22 can kill. Actually, the 22 has killed more people than any other gun

I also have a PPK/S in .22 caliber. Mine is a bit different than the one you have. Made in West Germany in 1970. No threaded barrel though. Absolutely love mine.

Honestly, not an area in which I have any expertise. In general, however, I would think that shot placement and penetration would be key. Personally, if I had to choose between a Walther PPK/S 22 and a good pepper spray like the Kimber Pepper Blaster ($40), I'd go with the Pepper Blaster when dealing with possibly someone's dog. Just my opinion. Thanks for watching. If you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on TH-cam.
Nice work. I liked the clip and stills from the Bond franchise. "Now pay attention 007." Purchased this model recently backed up with CCI Mini Mags. Looking forward to breaking it in at the local range.
Thanks. I had a lot of fun putting this review together. Plenty of content out there to work with. Enjoy your new PPK/S. The CCI Mini Mags are a good choice with any 22.

Just got rid of my PPKS 22 after ammo failing to feed, failing to eject, and failing to fire. Great looking gun and it felt great, but the minuses outweighed the only plus's which was looks and feel. It wasn't for a lack of trying, with at least 500 plus rounds of ammo and only CCI and Normas not having issues. So, I picked up an M&P 22 with the trade in, and for sure it can't be worse than that Walther.
Understood. I have had good luck with my S&W M&P Compact 22. Nice little 22. I've had quite a few good comments about the Walther P22 as well and I've certainly enjoyed mine. Thanks for watching.

Re price: I very recently bought one of the nickel plated PPK/S 22 L.R. for $279 at a local big name hunting sports outfitter. Order online and it was shipped to the store for pickup. Only one to a customer. Duh. It’s for my wife’s Christmas present. She’s always wanted one. Found some G10 Ivory grips for it too. It looks just right.
Very nice. Good price. Thanks for watching my video on the PPK/S 22. If you haven't already, I hope you'll subscribe and check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on TH-cam.
Thanks for the comment. Sorry, I haven't been able to get my hands on subsonic ammo that's recommended like Federal Premium’s American Eagle Rimfire Suppressor load, CCI Subsonic .22 LR or the Winchester’s Super Suppressed load all of which just seem to sell out in my area. These are the ones I'd try out since I've noticed that the Walther PPK/S 22 does not like some of the cheaper ammo I've used when the suppressor is attached.
You shouldn’t need subsonic with such a short barrel. 22lr standard velocity ammo will not reach supersonic velocity in a pistol under 5”. Personally, I save subsonic for the rifle.
Nice. I remember the Interarms TPH .22 was very unreliable so I never got one. By the way, the Beretta Bobcat, Tomcat, Jetfire/Minx takedown is just as easy.

I wish they would make this in a true PPK, or as the PP - I don't like the S . . .even more I wish Walther would make the TPH again . . .I've owned several Walthers - at least 8 of them . . . the TPH is the one I wish I had never sold.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to respond. I agree, I like the PPK and the PP more than the PPK/S. I do see the TPH for sale from time to time, but usually at $1,000 to $2,000.

Could be. As I understand, "kriminal" is indeed the connection and it refers to "detective" in translation which could be the same as undercover, as you suggest. Thanks for the comment.
Mick Mac's reference is on spot. To quote the Wikipedia article on "Kriminalpolizei": "(...) in the Federal Republic of Germany, the state police (Landespolizei) perform the majority of investigations. Its Criminal Investigation Department is known as the Kriminalpolizei or more colloquially, the Kripo." But since most of the undercover work is done by Kripo detectives your interpretation is also covered.
Я купил этот пистолет на распродаже за 250 баксов! стреляет он ахуительно но только корпус у него из сплава алюминия хорошо было бы если бы был из железа!
@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 The old version of ppk .22lr was made from steel. As I know new PPK (not ppks) costs around 799 so I would assume that the price for this one .22lr would be around 600 if it would be all steel but anyway It is a great gun!

.22 LR HP is effective against large dog breeds like GSD, pitbull, rottweilers etc.? or need 60 grain heavy .22 round for such breeds?
