What is ppk vs ppks?

The PPK (Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell) and PPK/S (Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell Spezial) are both compact semi-automatic pistols designed by the German company Walther. They are popular among law enforcement and civilian shooters for their small size, easy concealability, and reliable performance.

The PPK is a smaller version of the Walther PP (Polizeipistole), designed for concealed carry and personal defense. It features a shorter barrel and slide, as well as a reduced grip size for easier concealment. The PPK is chambered in .32 ACP or .380 ACP, and is known for its comfortable ergonomics and smooth trigger pull.

The PPK/S is a slightly larger version of the PPK that was specifically designed to meet the import restrictions of the United States. It has a slightly longer grip to accommodate a larger magazine, and maintains the same size slide and barrel as the PPK. The PPK/S is chambered in .22 LR, .32 ACP, or .380 ACP, and offers the same reliable performance as the original PPK.

Overall, both the PPK and PPK/S are excellent choices for those looking for a small, reliable, and accurate pistol for concealed carry or personal defense. The PPK/S may be preferable for those with larger hands or those looking for a larger magazine capacity.
