Illegal to import???
1 - 4 of 4 Posts
Since GCA '68. That's the Gun Control Act of 1968. The overall dimensions are too small on the PPK, according to the GCA, thus they can't be imported anymore, unless your a government official. I've seen some police officer's able to get them in.
However it's a mute point now that Walther doesn't even make them any more.

That is why the PPK/S was developed. The "S" means "Special" to the American market. Not "Sport" as so many armchair collectors claim.
At first, the American market was the sole importer of the PPK/S. It did eventually get around some and is a fairly popular model.

New PPK/S
PP and TP SeriesHello, Earlier this summer I bought the new (Arkansas) PPK/S .380 in stainless steel. I really enjoy shooting this pistol and love its appearance. One thing I dislike, though is that no one makes a wood grip for this configuration, not even Walther. You see, the backstrap is open, so grips...- 17

1930 Walther PP trigger
PP and TP SeriesMy 1930 Walter PP does not lock the hammer back after being fired. I took trigger bar spring out and it looks different than my later PPs. Also there's another spring that I believe was under the trigger bar. There's also a small cut in frame. Does anyone if the earlier PPs were different...- 12
