    Gus Steel had one of the wood grip extensions. When I saw it...my first thought was of him. He's gone now...used to see him at the NAPCA shows. That is a fantastic piece and a fantastic video!!!
    Thanks!

    I purchased a new commercial PPKS in the early 70's. Aluminum frame and so forth. I didn't feel the recoil was abusive either to me or the gun.

    Excellent video as usual. Just one observation: if the heel release was due to a frame weakness wouldn't that fail to explain why all today's .380 ppk's have button releases and have had for a long time? Shot in the dark(?) : couldn't these have been for Italy, as they used the .380 and a heel release (Beretta) and were an Axis power?

  • @Paladin1873
    @Paladin1873 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've read this was a concern with the PPK/L, which is why they are not chambered in a caliber larger than 32 ACP, but are the postwar 380 caliber PP, PPK, and PPK/S pistols made of stronger material to prevent frame cracking or did Walther change the design or location of the button release to eliminate the issue?

    You know more about these than anybody. Mine is a later Interarms import, yet the parts have stamps that I think were made in Spain? It is a PP in 22LR. Can I send some photos for an opinion?

    Did walther ever make 9mm parabellum (9x19) PP’s ? I know they made the 9mm ultra proprietary caliber later for the german police in the 70’s
    Curious

      Being a blowback operating pistol, the 9mmX19 would be far too powerful for the design.

      Bankers and office people were issued them sometimes in .22. Tom has mentioned it in other videos. Bank tellers, etc., as some might have been ladies had the .22 as an option. If you have never fired a Walther before, you would enjoy it. The "fixed" barrel (barrel that does not move around during action) provides a very, very accurate shooting experience.
