It is hard to obtain a PPKS .380 in Calif. The only way it can be one is throught Private Party Transfer and the seller must be a Calif resident and the gun has to belong to that person. Both seller and buyer can do the paperwork at the seller choice of local FFL.
I recently was going to purchase also a Walther TPH, 22LR and a .380.
Both were mint condition and came with paperwork and orginal boxes. I was going to get them through a gun broker and he did some last minute checking and the seller lived in Chicago. So I was told the sale could not go though. Bummer!................
I am just wondering when and if both models may be on the Calif DOJ "legal" roster again.
I have obtained other PPKS's through PPT, however all sellers were Calif residents and the guns were in their name at the time of the paperwork procedure.

The PPK/S pistols will never be legal for civilians to import into CA under current regulations. However, you will be able to import one when they achieve curio and relic status - at age 50.

Since the first PPK/S models appeared in 1969, that would be 2019.

I would be over 70yrs old and maybe dead by then...maybe I will move out of Calif as much as I have grown up here and the weather is nice, but still............maybe florida.

Get the hell out of Californistan; we put up with winter in Westsylvania, but at least we have some measure of freedom.
If somebody could get the terms 'making sense' and 'gunlaw' in one sentence, I'd buy them a beer.

Wow. Don't even get me going on bad gun laws, but at least the PPK/S is on the asinine "Approved Firearm Roster" here in Massachus-Istan. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact the Great Unmentionable is headquartered in Springfield, MA.

Hmmmm.
