The Walther PPK, the first semi-automatic pistol with a successful DA/SA trigger system, but arguably more famous for being the handgun of choice of Ian Fleming's fictional James Bond character, now also includes a .22 LR model, introduced in 2013. This pistol, available for sale in the United States, is manufactured at Walther’s plant in Arnsberg, Germany and is offered in either a black or silver-nickel finish. The dimensions and controls of the rimfire PPK/S are the same as those of the .380 ACP center-fire version but the materials used and some of the internal features have been modified to accommodate the smaller rimfire cartridge.
