What's really crazy is that even though they made the PPK basically continuously from 1931 until 2025, Walther never cashed in on the 007 hype with a factory threaded barrel until 2024.
Before then, if you wanted a suppressed PPK to larp as your favorite British spy you had to send it off to a smith to get it extended/threaded or a new barrel installed.
Then they ceased production completely of all of them, threaded or not last year. Hopefully they bring it back soon.
If your only experience shooting a PP or PPK is one of the .380 variants, or even worse one of the knock offs like a Bersa in .380, I think most people would think very poorly of how the gun shoots.
But if you ever get the chance to shoot one in its proper .32 ACP chambering, especially a suppressed one, its a much more pleasant experience.
As for practical.....well, nothing about Bond was ever practical. That wasn't really the point, was it?
