Just for conversation sake, anyone still have a classic PP series Walther in their rotation? I have a Fort Smith PPK in the melonite finish and an Interarms PPK in stainless. Both in .380. I bought them as a Bond fan, not intending to carry unless I was in dress clothes. Turns out I love the feel of them and Im pretty damn accurate with them so they are my primary EDCs now. My Shield Plus is now for when Im going to what I perceive as a more dangerous place/situation or when Im working outside, sweating all over it. Day to day… it’s the PPK. How about you? ![20260311_183747](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/3X/3/d/3d35dd7eeed8d5bf873e4763a1f92aded8cc0aa5.jpeg) ---

My dad sold his PP (although he thinks it was a PPK). Harumph. ---

My Interarms PPK/S. It’s a 1970s model I bought used. In perfect condition and sometimes I carry it as a CCW weapon. A little heavy, but just a great gun. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/3X/5/7/57296bc802d3574cba89b95b065187c5fc9a3926.jpeg) ---

Prior to S&W extending the beaver tail, a change Walther kept, the PP series guns were notorious for slide bite. I have to be really careful how I grip my Interarms one or it slices right through me. I have a scar where I learned this lesson. ---
