        Editor’s Note: "The PPK/s is an iconic pistol that has grown in popularity since its introduction in 1929. The Bond novels and films have certainly helped that, but all the positive publicity in the world wouldn’t matter if the gun itself wasn’t a well-built shooter." - Mike Hardesty

        By The Numbers

        Accuracy
        A fixed barrel and decent single-action trigger help, but a small gun and lackluster sights limit the capability.

        FINAL VERDICT

        "If you are looking for either a .380 to carry or a time-tested gun built along more classical lines, the PPK/s will serve you well. From its start in 1929 to today, there have been (and still are) many shooters who rely on it as an everyday concealed-carry gun. It’s been tried in times of war and has passed with flying colors. You don’t have to be a British Secret Agent to appreciate this great piece of engineering!" - Mike Hardesty

        My PPK is one of the best-looking and coolest guns I have. It is very easy to conceal, but that is where the good stops. Recoil is rough for a .380, the gun is difficult to rack, reliability with hollowpoints is hit or miss, and the potential for slide bite is real. On top of all of that, the double-action trigger pull is insanely heavy, and trying to lighten it results in sporadic light primer strikes. The PPK and PPK/S have all the James Bond swag, but I really think something like the Bersa Thunder or Sig P230/232 are better guns.

        I have had my PPK for many years and I love it. It's a comfortable EDC and as the article says, it's reliable and very classy.

        I have an older PPK from Interarms that I love. Accurate, easy to shoot and breakdown, and concealable with many options in the way of holsters. I've wanted a PPK since the early 80's and finally purchased one in 2022, why the long delay.... I finally just decided that it was time!

        Solid. Easy take down. Recoil is a little rough but manageable. Shoots pretty straight with a fixed barrel but you need a firm grip with this gun and no limp wristing or it won't cycle properly and you will have a jam. The web between your thumb will take a pounding if you don't grip it tightly. 1st trigger pull is heavy double action then it becomes lighter with single action Do not buy cheaper knock off magazines. They will not feed properly. Fun to shoot.
