Walther PPK/S - 22LR

Walther PPK/S in .22 LR

The Walther PPK/S 22LR puts the profile of Walther's classic compact pistol around the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, a rimfire round with light recoil and inexpensive ammunition. It suits range time and plinking, and it gives new shooters a good place to learn trigger control and sight alignment. Owners of a centerfire PPK can also use it to put in more practice on the same layout without the cost or recoil of the larger calibers.

Features

• .22 Long Rifle Chambering — The rimfire cartridge, primed in the rim of the case rather than at a central cap, recoils gently and costs far less per round than centerfire pistol ammunition.
• Classic PPK/S Profile — The rounded slide, beavertail-style frame tang and compact grip follow the outline Walther made famous with the PP series.
• Black Finish — Slide and frame share a matching black finish, with brushed flats along the slide sides.
• Checkered Grip Panels — Black grip panels carry fine checkering for a secure hold and the Walther banner logo on each side.
• Rear Slide Serrations — Vertical grooves at the back of the slide give your fingers purchase when you rack it to chamber a round.
• Exposed Ring Hammer — The external hammer has a ring-style spur you can see and reach, so the state of the action is easy to check at a glance.
• Fixed Front and Rear Sights — Low-profile sights sit on the slide, a simple setup that will not snag when drawing or holstering.
• Extended Magazine Baseplate — The magazine has a finger-rest extension at the base, giving the small grip room for your little finger.

Build and Markings

The slide is roll-marked "Walther Arms, Fort Smith, AR", and the frame carries Walther's serial and inspection stamps. The rounded trigger guard and the small, flat-sided frame keep the pistol compact and easy to handle. If you want the familiar PPK/S look and feel in a pistol that is cheap to shoot often, this rimfire version is the one to choose.
