Our Assessment: The Walther PP series has long been a popular option for civilian, law enforcement, and even military pistols. The PPK was a little smaller than the PP, suitable for concealed carry. Walther’s are known for their reliability, and this is a very high condition example of the 9mm (.380 ACP) that comes with its original box, manual and test-target. It would make a wonderful addition to a Walther collection, but would also be a good shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!
