Oh no. Anyway...

Walther, as you may have heard, has ceased production of the PPK line of self-loading pistols.


They say it's only temporary, but one can always hope, amirite? The last time I was in a discussion where someone looking for a pocket pistol got recommended the PPK, I retorted: "We're looking for a gun that A)Fits in a pocket and B)Works. Not a sexy-looking malfunction-prone brick that would have ceased production decades ago if not for Ian Fleming."

It's 2025. There's no reason to be charging over a kilobuck for a gun whose edges are so sharp you could use them to shave.

Besides, I am still nursing a not-entirely-rational grudge from twenty five years ago.
