Pressing the decocker down safely lowers the cocked hammer and, if left down, the lever operates as a safety. A slide-mounted safety and decocker are part of the design.
The single-action press is smooth and crisp at just under 4 pounds, which makes the trigger action an aid to accurate fire. The double-action, first-shot pull is long and smooth and most useful at conversational range. The recoil is light, and the pistol is also very accurate, even surprisingly so. The slide mounted safety of the Walther PPK isn’t difficult to manipulate. The barrel is about 3.25 inches long, and it is heavier than the new breed of polymer-frame guns. The trigger action is double-action, first-shot, and the operating action is a simple blow-back without the complication of a locked breech. However, I still appreciate the Walther PPK. It is a simple pistol in most ways. I do not wear a tuxedo, and I drive a Ford Truck, not an Aston Martin. The PPK became known as the carry gun of one Bond, James Bond. However, if you have fired the full-size, original PP pistol, you will realize that the PPK is a great shooter, easy to manage and accurate. Some years later, Walther began manufacturing the pistol in America, and the rest is history since import points are not applied to our own handguns. The PPK/S is not a bad gun at all. The combination of what was seen as an onerous law and great respect for the PPK affected sales of the PPK/S even though, eventually, the pistol was widely accepted after all, there was no way to get a PPK. The PPK/S features the short slide of the Walther PPK and full-length grip of the PP. The later PPK/S is a result of import points and other nonsense instigated after the 1968 Gun Control Act.
