First Look: Walther PPK/S SD .32 ACP Pistol
Walther Arms is releasing the new PPK/S SD .32 ACP, the latest evolution of an iconic firearm. The PPK/S SD redefines the classic Walther PPK/S with modern enhancements, making it the first in its lineage to feature a threaded barrel that is specifically designed for compatibility with suppressors.
The PPK/S SD .32 ACP retains all the hallmark features of the original PPK/S while incorporating new technology to meet the demands of today’s shooting enthusiasts. The new threaded barrel includes an extension piece to ensure proper alignment and durability while maintaining the PPK/S’s timeless design.
The PPK/S SD is chambered in .32 ACP and offers a balance of recoil and effective performance, making it a great choice for both concealed carry and recreational shooting. The threaded barrel is a first for the PPK/S family, allowing for easy attachment of suppressors to the pistol.
True to its roots, the PPK/S SD features Walther’s classic fixed-barrel, blowback-operated design, originally patented by Carl Walther. The PPK/S SD also includes the iconic rotating safety/decocker for safe handling and ease of use.
“The PPK/S SD .32 ACP is a celebration of Walther’s legacy of precision engineering and innovation,” said Rob McCanna, President and CEO of Walther Arms, Inc. “By integrating modern features like the threaded barrel into such an iconic design, we’ve created a firearm that bridges the gap between timeless style and contemporary performance. We’re excited to offer our customers a PPK/S that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern shooters.”
