I'm trying to limit my bond to Goldfinger and Goldeneye but god this a tempting prop
007's new "skyfall" PPKS
- Thread starter Noeland
- Start date
I am itching for one.
I think a removable grip would be cool. One that can be added to a standard PPK. If I made one myself, that's the route I'd go.

The body was a resculpted PPK and the slide was a casting from a PPK/S.
The PPK and The PPK/S have the same slide. The PPK/S is just a PPK slide on a Walther PP body.

This doesn't help us ID this pistol, but the biggest difference I've seen between the PPK and the PPK/s is the PPK has wraparound grips, and the PPK/s has two flat grip plates.
LeAngeSolitaire, do you mind letting us know where you got all this info on the prop?

Ugh. Researching these pistols has put me in a funk. I used to have a pre-war ppk in .32 that I bought off an old man for $300 around 1998. I left it in my truck once overnight (legally carrying with permit) and it was stolen. It makes me sick thinking about it.
EDIT: found this picture, it wasn't in as good of shape as I remember.

I'm not a firearms expert by any means so I could not comment definitively on whether it was an original Walther slide, Interarms or S&W. However, it is my belief that the castings made and provided to production were S&W derived and that the body was 100% a resculpt of a S&W casting. The slide could have been original Walther, as the live firing version used a 1969 slide on a S&W body, but everything I have personally seen correlates to a S&W PPK/S slide as seen above right.
Here's my version of the PPK. Sculpted the grips and rebuilt most of it from a metal PPK replica.
I think it turned out pretty decent. Was thinking of moulding it if there is enough interest.

Kinda look like the South African Vector...God I love that pistol
It's a sexy gun. It has the charm of the original but has a sleak look you'd expect Bond to...expect.

I think his sculpt looks quite a bit like a sig 230 as well.
It makes sense because out of all the PPK models, the S&W are the most readily available at the moment.
DrewSmith007, that makes me sick to my stomach to think about

Ok cool. I wanted to make sure I had the right base PPK to start on.
I agree and I also agree that the Vektor was a terrific firearm..

You are kidding. It was an awful gun. It could go off if knocked and had to be recalled. When fixed, it then could suddenly turn full auto. The barrel also distorted from prolonged firing. A truly ill designed firearm if ever there was one. They put the safety on the front of the trigger guard. Bunch of donkeys.
Love the look but ya this was a DANGEROUS gun to have
