You're right. Same catalog, I was looking at the PDF page counter.
Flush Magazines for the PPK/S.22
Several months I purchased a PPK/S in 380 and am very pleased with it. It is a simple uncomplicated gun that shoots very well. I quickly realized that I did not like the extended finger grip and changed both magazines to flat floor plates.
Shortly after that the American Rifleman had an add for the PPK/S.22 and it intrigued me. My local gun dealer ordered one for me which came with one magazine with a finger extension. Of course I did not like the finger extension. I called Walther to see if they made a magazine for the PPK/S.22 with a flat floor plate even if it only held eight or seven rounds. They informed me that they did not.
Question. Does anyone know where a magazine for the PPK/S.22 with a flat floor plate can be obtained?
As a side line. During my last contact with Walther concerning parts for the 380 magazines they informed me that they did not carry parts for the magazines any more. This means that if you lose a small part of the magazine you will have to buy a whole net magazine. Great work!

There is a pistol range in lower Manhattan that is frequented by various members of the Israeli embassy and consular staff...not just security personnel. but clerks, cooks, maintenance, etc. Many of them will carry small/compact .22 LR semi-auto pistols for personal protection (Walther PP, Beretta Bobcat, etc), . Many of them work long and hard to become VERY proficient at marksmanship...obliterating a 1" bullseye with 7 or 8 rounds from a .22 magazine at 25 yards...in only a few seconds of rapid fire. .22 bullets may be small but...put enough of 'em in the same spot and they'll do a whole lotta' damage..
The '...catch..' is that ya' gotta' spend a whole lotta' time and effort gettin' that good...and then be tested on your marksmanship proficiency on a regular basis....something that relatively FEW civilians are willing to take the time or make the effort to do. Goin' out to the range every few/several months or so and shootin' a couple of boxes of ammo and punchin' holes in a Diet Pepsi can ain't gonna' do it.So, NO. A .22 pistol really ain't an adequate concealed carry weapon for most people...no matter how creative a manufacturer's catalog marketing staffer wants to be.

The point was only that Walther markets it as a concealed carry pistol inspite of not producing a flat based magazine. However, your observation about training applies to weapons of any caliber.
Cheap? I think Walther products are good quality, especially in the PP/ Ppk series. If it fits in the pocket, it will be carried no matter what the caliber.I dont think Walther was expecting anyone to carry a cheap .22 plinker.
I'm talking about the products coming from Arnsberg. And I say that as someone who is a fan of those guns.Cheap? I think Walther products are good quality, especially in the PP/ Ppk series.
I think that there may be some confusion between older, all-steel, Walther-produced PPs and PPK's chambered for .22LR and the newer (2013), Zamek zinc-alloy Walther/UMAREX PPK/S .22LR>>...I think Walther products are good quality, especially in the PP/ Ppk series.

The newer Walther/Umarex Zamex zinc alloy PPK/S may '..look..' similar to the older all-steel PP and PPK...but they're essentially different pistols.
I second that, my 2 PPK .22 are flawless and often carried AIWB, pocket or shoulder during colder months. In addition I have had no failure at all with my PPK/s .22 silencer yard baby. Only my .380 gave me issues last range sessions not wanting to go back in battery a few times. But then again I had have not cleaned it since 2016 purchase…… nor my PPK’s.I think that there may be some confusion between older, all-steel, Walther-produced PPs and PPK's chambered for .22LR and the newer (2013), Zamek zinc-alloy Walther/UMAREX PPK/S .22LR

yes I will I promise but it shows you with the German post war all steel reliability.
I do keep my EDC TPH .25 up to pair!
Promise a deep cleaning soon!
