PPK/S 7.65

[hardknocks]

Hi all
Recent purchase, shot it today function like it should.
Very clean looks new but it's 1970 model.
Seller had it priced like a worn out 380. I have been looking for a 32 for quite a while but there expensive.
I like shooting 32 acp I have a Beretta 81BB and a 1952 Llama Especial. Oh and a couple kel-tec P32s.
Thanks for looking.

Nice one! I love the Walthers. I have an Interarms Walther PP in the same caliber; .32 ACP.

"Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them."

Nice gun!

We the German Police went to 9mm, There was a mountain of Hot GECO (sp) ammo surplused out. It shot great in my steel frame WWII PPK, but it is too hots for Kel-Tek and Berretta Tomcat 3031!

I found that Winchester Silver Tip Hollow Point Feed well in the dozens of 32 ACPs I've had over the years. If you are really "Old School", we alternated Winchester white box and STHP and had nice 1.5" Groups at 10 yards.

Got one in stainless, about 10 years ago, that was dirt cheap because it was a .32acp. Gun and 4 mags for like $300 out the door!

Carried a PPK in .380 for about 10-15 years as my "suit gun".

Great find! I too prefer the 7.65mm over the 380 PPK-PP models it is more reliable and holds more ammo and has better pentration than the 380. The German Army adopted the 32 in WW1 over the 380 in the military for this reason and used it in two wars. It is a better round than the 380 in small autos. The 380 walthers are jam prone.

I have a PP in .32 and prefer it to my .380 ppk/s.

Lets see a close up of the ejection port to see if the barrel has a date like my "72" model does? Bottom left, blued but 380 and un-fired and unused. 100% condition.

1970
Thanks

That's older than mine and looks to be in pristine shape too, I've seen em as high as $3k sold on GB. Your's have Interarms on the other side as the importer? The .32 definitely makes it worth more too, Very valuable especially with your extras. Nice score.

Hello
Yes it has interarms logo, also loaded chamber indicat or tool.
Very expensive online, guess I got lucky.
Thanks

The brass rod is its cleaning rod, now if it came with the test target and instructions ya'd have a complete set.
The firing pin that protrudes on the back of the slide when loaded is your loaded indicator as it's pushed out.

Beautiful little gun thanks for posting.

I have a PP, PPK, and a PPK/S. The one that makes me smile the most is my very early first year (1930 or 1931 depending on who you ask) PPK. I have found very few with earlier serial numbers. It is in really nice shape. My early grips have the screw going from the left to right have no cracks or warping, which is almost impossible to find.

I like the PP in 7.65 Browning / .32 ACP. It’s pleasant to shoot, can be fired accurately much farther than the PP in 9mm Kurz / .380 ACP, and the terminal ballistics of the .32 ACP are not as bad as people suggest with a suitable hollow point like the 60 gr XTP at 1050 fps. It gives decent expansion and just over 12” penetration in 10% ballistic gel, with an extra round in the gun compared to .380 ACP.

I picked up a couple a decade or so ago when they were coming into the US as surplus police guns. Mine were both Austrian police examples that were little used.

I also picked up a couple of commercial FEG APK7S and APK9S pistols:

BB57, you sure don’t see surplus guns like that showing up in that condition anymore. And if you were to find one, it would be priced outrageously. You were very smart to pick those up when you did.
