Back in the 90s I replaced my Colt Mustang Pocketlite with a new Interarms PPK. Other than the weight I liked the PPK better in every aspect.
Zero failures, accurate and did not care what ammo I used.
With Hydra Shock ammo it shot exactly to the point of aim.
Only reason I moved on is I wanted a laser. The PPK/S had one available but not the PPK.

I have three Walthers, a P.38, a PPK/S, and this one that I'm very pleased to own. It was willed to me by a WWII P-47 pilot, who brought it back from the European theatre. It was his personal protection piece, and he was carrying it when he once had to bail out of his crippled plane over a combat area.

Wartime PPKs are hard to come by now, and I feel very blessed to have this one that belonged to a good friend from the greatest generation.

I had a Walther PPKS and sold it to buy something else. The gun is cute but way too heavy and bites the hand that feeds it. I would rather have a lighter 9mm or 40 Cal. (that I carry daily) for a carry weapon.
