Walther PPK SD in 32 ACP Gun Review : James Bond 007

[@AllAboutSurvival]

Pairing it with a suppressor takes it to another level of classic spy feel, and it’s just cool to see Walther keeping this legend alive!

[@stang_tarheel]

Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window...

[@Maryland_Kulak]

@@jeffanon1772Why ridiculous? You don’t think .32 ACP can break a plate glass window as well as a brick?

[@paulharrison8152]

I love 32acp. The Beretta 81 is one of my favourite guns. So being able to get a PPK in 32acp will be great.

[@TafferBoyElvis]

I couldn't afford a Walther, so I bought a Bersa Thunder 380 about 14 years ago. It's not too bad.

[@bobwampler3387]

Same here.

[@joshklaver47]

The SIG P232, Beretta Tomcat, and NAA Guardian are also good options.

[@earldelsanto]

Hey it's as good as the ppk. For the price it's superior to the ppk

[@TafferBoyElvis]

@ I used it as my carry gun for quite a while. Now I'm using the Ruger LCP Max. The Bersa is a smooth tool, which obviously copied the Walther design. I think the firing pin on the Bersa is the weakest link. Seems to gunk up easily and not get good primer strikes after 400-500 rounds. Disassembly to get to it requires a punch tool and most people won't go that far in cleaning.

[@blchamblisscscp8476]

I considered that as well, and I'd still like to get the Bersa just to have as a fun gun and additional 380. I got the PKKS in 22LR because the 380 is cost prohibitive.

[@brownhat1290]

An excellent review. I am pleased to hear that Walther is bringing these guns back in the original .32 acp chambering.

[@KaiserSoze-vx6vo]

I have the pleasure to own several Walther firearms (PPK, CCP M2, PDP Compact, and the Q5 MATCH SF). All of these firearms are awesome.I guess I might have to look at investing funds for a PPK SD.

[@Jon__G]

Nice to see Seth joining you! The black thread protector, would look better in stainless.

[@baomao7243]

It would be wonderful if these suddenly had amazing triggers - I tried the PPK/s maybe 6-7 yrs ago and its double action weight combined with its narrow trigger face gave the PPK/s literally the worst double action trigger I have fired in my lifetime.

[@CeltKnight]

As an admitted Waltherphile I am happy to see Walther upgrade and produce these classic pistols. I have two PPKs in .32 and have carried a PPK an PPK/S in .380. I MUCH prefer the feel of the .32acp models for shooting and let's face it, put a 73 gr .32 FMJ where it needs to go and the bad guy will fall just as hard and fast as if you hit him with any other higher powered round with fancy whiz-bang JHP bullets. Interestingly, while in the movie, "Dr. No", Bond was issued a PPK and told it used a certain suppressor, in the novel by the same name, he was told his PPK would not take a suppressor as there was no need for one (and the suppressor on his .25 Beretta had gotten caught in his cummerbund in From Russia With Love, allowing Rosa Krebs to gig him with her poisoned shoe, nearly killing him. Oh, also, I'm a total nerd ... I mean ... in case that wasn't clear already. LOL!

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Looking forward to getting one (blued version). I had it in .380 but it was way too painful on my hand to enjoy shooting it (and left welts from the beaver tail edges). Like you say, this pistol was designed for the .32 ACP.

[@D-A-1776]

Its awesome we can get the original size and not just the ppks

A beautiful legend

They are really coming back in vogue.

[@Stab_Knifewind]

Great video as usual. The PPK is an icon to be sure.

[@ghw7192]

The PPK I carry was given to my father in the early 60s. The original owner had "liberated" it German convoy in Africa during WWII and it was still packed with cosmoline. It was given to me in the 70s when i had a job where I transported large sums of cash after dark. I found an extended magazine for it on eBay. My other carry gun is an I.N.A. Tiger, also in .32. As always, an excellent review!

[@PreservationOfLiberty]

I own a couple Walthers, recently picked up a PD380, & try to support Walther as much as possible since they’re a sponsor of Steven Crowder’s Mug Club. Crowder literally has a PPK displayed on his desk during the Louder With Crowder show. The price on PPK/SD is steep but what a beautifully crafted firearm!

[@TheBeefSlayer]

You could get another thread adapter from walther and file the end off to where it turned it into a thread protector cap. 👍

[@reaper106]

THANK YOU!!!!!! SCREW THE PPK 7.65X17MM GET THE PPK SD 7.65X17MM BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!! Also thank you for being Accurate. it really tickles my feathers when youtubers are like I got the james bond and they show a PPK/S like no according to the books and films he had a PPK not a PPK/S even in SkyFall, it was cleary a PPK not a PPK/S when he meets the Q

[@damirblazevic4823]

What?

[@reaper106]

@@damirblazevic4823 you have two options. The standard ppk in 7.65x17mm aka .32acp or the second option is the PPK SD which is threaded in the video as shown. The SD IS the best bang for the buck you get both option.

[@DustyGamma]

Would be great if they made a PP SD, I bet the extra slide mass would work well with suppressor, and would have the longest barrel of them all.

[@Seamaster7]

If these are being manufactured here - wish they’d do the shorter grip from the original PPK rather than the longer /S grip. They just look more proportional and would be more practical to carry anyway. That, and instead of a longer threaded barrel, just thread the end of a standard length barrel, put a thread protector that’d make it flush with the rest of the barrel, and include a little adapter that you’d replace the thread protector with which would then have the ½ x 28 threads protruding from the muzzle for the can to attach to. Yeah it’s fussy but these are novelties at this point so I mean…

[@MrSmith-zy2bp]

What are you talking about? He's demo the short grip PPK SD with threaded barrel. Walther is offering both verisons PPK SD and PPKs SD that has the PP grip.

[@blueocean9305]

Superb review for a superb firearm. Thank you.

[@michaelkovacic2608]

Just a short note on the painter's suicide: according to historian Dr. Mark Felton, he had both of his private pistols with him in his final moments, a .25 PPK and a .32 PP. It is uncertain which gun he used, but logic points towards the stronger .32 caliber. The PPK might thus not be responsible for deleting this piece of dirt. But I might of course be wrong here. Also, afaik most PPK issued/sold during WW2 were .32, with only a few .380 being produced, and some .25 mixed in. Does someone know the exact production numbers? Would really appreciate it :D

[@Lksz-l9k]

Though it's a harmless mistake, so it's really not that important.

Lol but the US and UK government were allies in that war with an actual mass murderer named Joseph Stalin who killed 50+ million people.

I noticed at 20:13 that the inside of the slide no longer has a unique identification number machined into it, like my 2020 production PPK. I wonder if the slides are now being made in house at Fort Smith, AR now, rather than being made in Ulm, Germany and shipped over. That would make the most sense from a production standpoint, though I do like knowing that at least part of my new PPK was actually made in Germany.

[@thorbostad8406]

Thanks for showing how the supressor adaptor comes off. Would love to see the cap to use when the adaptor is off. Also, it is not clear why the thread adaptor has to be on avoid the slide to lock into place (as you show at 21:10). Will the cap avoid this?

[@hardemandc]

This is cool, but what I really want is a polymer .32 PPK. It’s crazy to me that Walther hasn’t already introduced a polymer version, because the PPK really only makes sense today as a pocket gun (there are countless better choices for IWB), yet it’s too heavy for comfortable pocket carry. If they could get the weight down to the equivalent of a Beretta Tomcat or S&W J Frame, and perhaps add a slide stop, it would be perfect.
