.32s dont stack as well because they have a small rim and .380s are true rimless.Cool! I own the new production 380ACP version in stainless, and I like it. It gets carried in the pocket holster (or for fancy occasions in a shoulder holster) every once in a while. I only paid $730 for it though, I wouldn't want to spend much more than that on one of these.
Probably a typo, but the web page is currently saying the 32ACP version has a 6 shot mag capacity (same as the 380ACP). Should be 7 round (7+1) capacity.
Right there with ya on that one- though I will say my .32 was better than the .380. Still bad, just not as bad.https://inside.safariland.com/blog/walther-ppk-s-in-32-acp-reviving-classic/
With an MSRP of $969, this better be vastly improved from the previous iteration.
My early-1970's PPK/S still gives me a bad memory. This was undoubtedly the worst handgun I've ever owned, and that's saying something. Terrible and heavy trigger pull. A pain to shoot. It did look cool, though.
Nope, it was just a typo... I confirmed it on Walther's web page. The 32 PPKs of old were 7+1, so no reason the new ones would downgrade..32s dont stack as well because they have a small rim and .380s are true rimless.
Thats why the Beretta 84s actually have a smaller capacity in .32 than .380.
Thanks for posting about this, I hadn't heard about it! Now I can start saving!Surprised it ain’t posted already, but here- for your viewing pleasure… Walther has reintroduced the PPK in .32 Automatic
Because then people would buy a polystriker instead. The PPK is interesting in it's original caliber only for all the usual reasons. I myself have a Ranger model in 380, works good. I like it for what it is, but I don't carry it.How about chambering it in something like 30 Super Carry, so that it's actually useful.
The PPK information has been a sloppy copy/paste job on Walther's web page ever since they first starting making the PPK again... they STILL list the PPK and PPK/S as being the same exact weight of 19oz. PPK is around 19oz, but the PPK/S is closer to 21.4oz.What does this mean?

They also show the PPK models in 32 having 7 rounds or 6 rounds depending on page. I think they have some site editing to do. It's not like they have competition for these models - why the rush with errors.
I have an S&W PPK chambered in 380 ACP. It is a bit snappy to shoot and a bit heavy. Mine has been 100% reliable with RN bullets. Not so much with designer HP bullets. But, I feel penetration with a 32 cal projectile is more important than hoping the bullet will expand.The .32s are simply pleasant, and, in my experience, more reliable. The PP series started as a .32, and the stretch to the larger caliber is, well, a stretch.
