Fort Smith PPK comes back in .32 Login/Join

I found this news late last night when I could not sleep. I was just about to get serious about a ss S&W, .32 cal PPK/S a vendor had on Guns International for $949 !! I was also looking at a ss PPK Interarms .32 cal on Gun Broker. This one was to start at $815 but had 9 days before the bidding wars started.

I will have to go to confession about my thoughts about the S&W PPK/S. However, I still would not mind a shot at the Interarms PPK at a more reasonable price.

I already have a Fort Smith ss PPK and PPK/S in .380 which have been flawless.



I will get the first Fort Smith ss .32 cal, PPK and/or PPK/S I get my hands on (probably both). My first of many PPKs was a war time .32 cal in 1965. Carried it off duty as a city LEO. I now, after many years, have a German made .32 cal PPK and PP along with .22 cal PP and TPH as well as two Interarms PPK/S .380s.

PS Couldn’t sleep the rest of the night after this great news.

Very nice!
I had the Walther in 380. Hated it but in .32, what a great combination!
Beautiful pistols.

Very nice sir and great photo. I have a mid-60-ish PP in .32 but no PPK. I’m glad they’ve done this - it’s very hard to find a quality .32 these days.

I had a wartime PPK (.32cal) in 1965 while on a city PD. Refinished it, carried it for several years, and foolishly sold it.

Several years ago, I finally found a .32 Cal. German PPK. from about 1972. It was pretty rough so I had it refinished (asked the gunsmith to take it easy on the slide markings), added custom grips and finally have a German PPK back.

I have no practical use for it, but I've wanted a PPK since my teen years.
Some lovely models presented on this page

Not that I want another caliber to build up reserves on, but I admit one in .32 sounds enticing. Never bonded with the harsher recoiling .380s.
