Back in the 80s, my better half considered buying a PPK/S because she liked the size, simplicity, and heft. When the sales clerk called it a Sean Connery pistol she was definitely sold. She embarrassed a lot of guys at the indoor ranges back then, outshooting them and their "real" handguns. She had some kind of special connection with that weapon.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

I am quite certain nobody of guys was willing to prove with their husky bodies that PPK is not a real handgun. If somebody doesn't want to get shot with one it is a real handgun.

[@VincitOmniaVeritas7]

I have the .22lr version of the PPK/S and it is “movie quiet” to shoot suppressed. The fixed barrel design not only makes it accurate but allows it to be more reliable with a supressor attached than a tilting barrel would be. It’s a blast.

Hitler carried both pistols mentioned in the video. When inspecting troops, he would have a Walther PP in his holster. While in his headquarters, whether at the Chancellery, Rastenberg, or the Fuhrerbunker, he would have a Saur pocket pistol in one of the pockets of his tunic and a Walther PPK (the gun he used to take his life) in a drawer in his desk.

[@predetor911]

So iconic to James Bond i sometimes forget it’s originally from Germany.

[@JH-lo9ut]

That interview with captain Winters is remarkable. He tells the story of how the cordial German officer surrendered his pistol, and on examination, Winters discovered that the walther pp was in pristine condition and had most likely never been fired. This led him to the decision that the pistol should remain in that state, as a symbol of end to hostilities. I hope that whomever owns that historical firearm today, honors that decision. The walther pp series are in my mind one of the most elegant firearms ever created. The fixed barrel, as opposed to a tilting- or recoiling barrel mechanism, lends itself well to use with a supressor. It also means that in theory, the gun is more consistently accurate, than a gun with a non-fixed barrel. However, being a straight blowback gun (not firing from a locked breech), it limits how powerful a cartridge can be used.

[@lexelimus]

Favorite dog war based anecdote. I believe it was the soviets who made dog bombs in WW2. They trained dogs to seek out tanks and hunker under them. Then when the time came they strapped bombs to the dogs. Well, the dogs being smart goodest boys went and found the exact Diesel powered tanks they were trained with and not the gas powered German ones. Some details may be mixed up, but the idea of the story was still there.

[@schizoidboy]

My dad carried a PPK when he was in the Custom's Service, he didn't like it because it kept cutting his hand when firing it. He later carried a Smith and Wesson automatic. Incidentally I hoped the Major Winter's PPK ended up in a museum somewhere because that will keep it from ever being fired.

[@dakuru]

it's important to add that right after Germany surrendered in 1945, the country was forbidden to manufacture weapons (until 1947 iirc). Walther moved all of its equipment to France near the border, in partnership with Manurhin. All PPs and PPKs manufactured from 46 to 52 iirc were made in France under licence, and also Manurhin made their own too. They equipped a lot of french police and military. Also in Dr No; James Bond is wielding a PP.

[@zendell37]

"he was an asshole. Then he tried to shoot himself and failed at that, too" - some historian, I dunno. You're right, though. People only know the band of brothers bit where David Shwimmer was a coward who yelled at men.

Some of the Walther pistols remind me a lot of some of the small Beretta pistols. I don't think I've ever fired a Walther myself but I have a fun little Berretta Bobcat. (The Bobcat doesn't really look like a Walther but some of the other Berretta pistols do.) Thanks for another fun and interesting video Johnny.

I have been carrying my own Walther PPK recently, since my Ruger LCP is currently out of service due to a broken spring.

[@Gunbudder]

There was a huge metastudy on efficacy of all pistol calibers (its a famous one that i forget the name of) and it showed that ALL pistol calibers are about equally effective in stopping an attacker in a self defense situation, with the exception of .22 and .25 which were significantly less effective. .380 (or 9 short, whatever you want to call it) is basically the smallest caliber that is commercially available that will stop an attacker. it gets the job done, but holy shit i hate shooting that caliber. i have yet to find a pocket carry 380 that doesn't rip my hand up or feel terrible when shooting it. I can't remember if .32 was in the study i'm thinking of, but i remember .25 was the huge dropoff point, so .32 would have been effective if it was in there.

My God, was that Sean Bean? First time over heard him talk posh. Always rather admired the fact that he kept his accent mostly.

Thank for making this video

6:35 training isnt the kind of security that trumps finger print scanners, though. Weird point to make, but otherwise a quality video as always 👌

He was talking about modern IRL smart guns. They use radio frequencies and a wearable to "match" meaning you need to wear a watch or large wristband on your shooting hand(which is uncommon) and they have to jive at just the right time when you need it. Also your gun now takes batteries. Look, having your gun stolen and used against you can't be 100% prevented, but I'd rather know my gun is going to work every time as opposed to hoping I don't have to reset my modem.

Used by Robert Quarrels in Justified with a Wrist Spring-Launcher to be faster then any Quick-Drawer. IMHO, Raylan Gibbens only outdrew him because Quarrels was suffering from exhaustion from his Rampage & Oxy withdrawl. & then because Elston Limehouse chopped his hand off with his Meat Cleaver. He 'disarmed' him. Literally!
