picked up this 1941 PPK and an old P38 today. Range box and ammo came with them.

First post so thanks for letting me participate.

The PPK is a little rough but I think I’ll clean her up and carry her.

Nah, that ppk is nice man! Good score!

Thanks Hawk. I believe the grips are original? They have a small crack on the back and Id like to preserve them. Any advise on replacement grips for carrying the PPK?

Earls Repair Service can sell you post war grips he'll grind (minor adjustments) to fit your ZM pistol.

Thanks Dep. Any ammo restrictions on these early pistols? I have quite a few rounds of 60’s & 70’s Winchester 71gr.

Welcome to the forum.

Most postwar two piece plastic grips will fit and aren't too expensive. You can find them in black or brown but your original grips are fragile and may break apart if you remove them.

I've shot WWB and Remington UMC through mine to good effect.

These grips from GPC should fit your PPK.

Here's a good video showing how its done. Fast forward to about the 18:00 mark.

Earl's grinds the inside of the post war grip panel so that it doesn't bind the action. I believe Martin or Balogh have posted exactly how the post war grips need to be adjusted.

I've had two different sets of post war grips on my 1940 PPK and never had any binding with either.

See Balogh's June 14, 2011 post responding in a thread named "Question about prewar PPK grips."
