....and a .22lr in the face is better than the .45 left in the car.....As I always tell "newbies"; the BEST gun to carry it the one which is most likely to BE THERE when needed !
22 in the face and/or the groin area if they're really deserving of it.....and a .22lr in the face is better than the .45 left in the car.....

The PP's grip is an inch longer. Which is why after the GCA of '68, Walther said, so we can't import the PPK anymore? Fine, we'll put the PPK slide and barrel on a PPK grip and call it the PPK/S, now it's got enough "import points."22 in the face and/or the groin area if they're really deserving of it.
All jokes aside ya .32 and .22 are not to be laughed at, I don't know anyone who'd gladly take one to the abdomen let alone face.
As for the ppk, my fat/chubby hands always got slide bite from it gripped it like I normally do. Strangely the walther PP (long barrel police version) i bought off GB shoots softer and doesn't bite despite having the same dimenions in the back I imagine.
Anyway like the 1911 I don't think the ppk is going away anytime soon, there's just too much history and fandom for it.
I wonder if an old school walther pp slide will fit in the newer long grip ppk/s's.The PP's grip is an inch longer.

Barrel would still be too short.I wonder if an old school walther pp slide will fit in the newer long grip ppk/s's.
True, but if the new ppk/s's are similar to the old ones should be able to remove the barrel with a vise and proper press tool (I forgot the official name) that pulls out the barrel back towards the hammer if I'm not mistaken. I never did this but did see a smith on youtube do it.Barrel would still be too short.
You could also do it as a caliber conversion. Change a .380 PPK to a proper .32ACP PP....True, but if the new ppk/s's are similar to the old ones should be able to remove the barrel with a vise and proper press tool (I forgot the official name) that pulls out the barrel back towards the hammer if I'm not mistaken.

I guess the better question would be why would you want to...to which my response would be why not and imagine a softer shooting, more accurate due to longer sight picture, and better looking (in my opinion) pistol.
Plus this way I can save the condition of the my original walther pp's lower...I know i'm just rambling but this seems like it's going to be a fun research project. Next steps scroung up some doe to acquire a new ppk/s and I'll make a post.
This is a really handy site for when you want to change case without retyping the whole thing...oops caplock!
