I was comparing a PPK and PPK/S at a show last weekend. I'm going to buy either one or the other. I like the feel of the PPK/S but I would like it to function as a pocket gun. Is the PPK/S still a viable option? Just looking at the two one after the other there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference.

This is a picture I made using the stock photos off Walther's site just as a comparison.

I've picked up both recently too. Seems that the PPK would be better suited for smaller pockets (dress clothes, for instance). I wasn't bothered by the slightly larger PPK/S

The only real difference is that the PPK/S has the solide steel backstrap of the PP model and is 1/4" longer.

The PPK/S is much more pleasant to shoot, and not larger enough to matter. Either one is a hunk in your pocket. A nice IWB holster is a much better way to carry a nice gun.

I think it may be worth the extra size for the improved comfort. Most of my pockets are rather large anyways.

Here's that same shot but with the PPK/S flipped so you can see the difference in length a little better.

I couldn't agree more. I think that in a tense situation, the extended beavertail could very easily snag the inside of a pocket costing precious time. Any good holster would be better than simply carrying a PPK series pistol in a pocket.

Well, I made my decision today. Brought home a new Walther PPK/S-1, stainless. I can't wait to take it to the range this weekend.

I can't figure out how to edit my post but I forgot to add that I got the .380.

Congrats on the new Walther!! Safe shooting!

Get a TPH if you want a great pocket gun.

Can you still buy a TPH?

check this post for some prices......
If you want a German TPH you will pay a good penny too, either from Earl's or if you find it elsewhere but they only came in .22 or .25

Ya gotta have large pockets, but the holster works fine with the PPK/S-i

Thanks dourdave, that's exactly like what I'm looking for. I'll have to get used to putting my wallet in my other pocket but that's a small tradeoff. I wonder how uncomfortable it is to sit with that.

I have the holster Dave told you about for my PPK/S. It is well made and fits the gun perfectly. I can recommend it with no reservations.

Well my pocketholster is going back. I should have asked dourdave for more details on "large pockets". According to the manufacturer, they will fit cargo or painter pants. Nothing on his website says that though. I wear blue jeans or Dickies and the PPK fits in the front pocket of them. But the pocketholster fits neither the front OR back pocket of them. I do have some BDU pants, but I can't see carrying the PPK in the large cargo pockets. And it doesn't fit in the back pockets. I'm not gonna start wearing baggy painter pants just to wear this holster.
Not sure what I will try next. Maybe the Pager Pal.

I chose the PPK since it seemed just on the edge of pocket gun already.

 

[dourdave]

Let's see: Today I wore "cargo" shorts (6" inseam) with the PPK/S-1 in the Pocket holster of controversy, resting in the right front pocket. My sport shirt was untucked and everything went well. Driving with this set up is comfortable, as is walking. I was wearing a cloth, double "D"-ring belt and my shorts did not sag or droop because of the weight.

Front pocket works for me.

While in Vegas last week I placed an order for the Fobus ankle holster for the PPK. Not as handy as a pocket holster, but I'm pretty sure it will work fine without me going out and buying a whole new 1980s wardrobe

HMMMMMMMMMM-----'80s wardrobe. Interesting. I had no idea we were that far out of it on the Gulf Coast. However----

Dave: Must be a Florida thing. The guy I bought the wallet holster from was from Florida too
