New Walther PPK/s

I haven't written on this forum for a long time, so if this topic has been addressed, bear with me. I saw an ad in the new American Handgunner that the Walther PPK/s has been redesigned. Anyone here have any detail you can provide me? Any place I can get pictures? The Walther website isn't very helpful, nor is the S&W. The PPK/s is one of my favorite handguns.

Thanks

    Hi
    I found some info on the Walther P99, and Smith and Wesson..could be the PPK/s are manufactured in the US by Smith&Wesson

    " Licensed wersion of the P99 is manufactured in the USA by Smith&Wesson under designation of the Smith&Wesson 99. This guns has USA-made slides, the frame and mechanism are Germany-made."

    Hizzoner,

    Pick up a copy of Guns&Ammo, August 2002. They have a five page article titled, "From S&W With Love", which should answer all questions.

    Hizzoner,

    Yes, it was rather catching. It was James Bond that gave the Walther PPK popularity in the USA. Right now I would say S&W needs all the help they can get, possibly the PPK will help their bottom line.

    I shot one just last weekend and fell in love. For some reason I always preferred revolvers, but mine is too bulky for concealed carry so I started checking out the different 32's. After last week, I know exactly which gun I'm saving for...very nice!

    So Hillbillychic: Did you get one of the PPK's made by S&W? If so, take a pic of it and post it or email it to me.

    No, it'll take me a few months to save up that much money! I'm in the navy with 3 kids and a fixer-up house, just can't do it.
    I know you're dying for a picture, why don't you just go to your local gunstore and check one out? Or is it too tempting??? I understand that! If I had $300 just to blow, I'd buy one right now!

    I'm sorry Hizzoner, I don't know what to tell you about finding a picture. I can tell you that I find the PPK VERY attractive!

    Just what makes me your kind of girl?

    Know up front, that I only tease............b/c I'm married.
