You know, I was looking at some PPK's this past weekend and wondered what was going on with the beavertail. I recently had a serious and expensive car breakdown or I'd of picked one up. Maybe in a month or so.
It looks like the bulldog vault to me too, but to be honest a lot of locking pistol cases look just like that. Thankfully, they can be had for a decent price though. :love
You're right about the grips, that was a lazy afterthought based on what someone else had said - apologies for that.
But I still think it's detectably a PPK in terms of the frame height;

I don't know about modern PPK/S's, but the original ones were just Walther PPK slides on a Walther PP frame. They were made to get around the height requirement of the 1968 gun control act. The magazine extension was created for the same reason.
I have been told that the extra length of the PPK/S frame is a big aid when firing the pistol in the .380 acp caliber.
David.
The ppk/s bigger grip makes sense for the .380. I've shot .380 and .32 and the .32 was way smoother plus that caliber is what the ppk was designed to shoot. I personally still prefer a ppk .32, especially to conceal carry.
Cool to see the ppk back in bonds hands!
It should be fun to see people making custom grips to attach to pre-existing airsoft pistols.
Also looks all makers marks are gone. I think there's a cheap ppk springer with the lettering gone. Might make for a good base.

Interesting, didn't notice that.
But it does look like the Walther logo is still at the front of the silde. (Barely visible on the first image in the first post.) I may be wrong, though.
Heck, if there are no marks, you can use those blank-firing ones that look like the gun but without any trademarked names. I always see those in sporting/surplus catalogs. They're usually fairly affordable.
I'll have to check out marushin's website to see what all they have. (I've been wanting to get another one of their PPK's anyway, but their website is a hassle because it's in Japanese.)
Looks like there is something up front.
Here's the three images brightened up and cropped to show off details better.
I imagine there some better resolution images to be had.

Ppk vs ppks
