Page 4 - Walther PPK/S Reviews

this is the James Bond secret weapon aand I had to put it in my collectoin. I also like it is made of meatel.

a Little more velocity. So it would be accuarate at a linger diffenrse

just its fun

-BlowBack -Very James Bondish' -Weighted -Mag/CO2 Setup -Tons of Shots

-More Power, Less Shots; but that's me.... I prefer power over total shots per cartridge. -Stronger blowback; it works but feels weak. -Make it a real PPK type safety -Make it more professionally made like some other guns

-This gun is a ton of plinking fun, seems like you have air forever. -It is very wimpy but good weight

Other than the safety release it's a pretty good replica of a real Walther as far as weight and balance. Functions well and easy to load, unload and operate. You get about 6-7 magazines per CO2 cylinder. Am also using it to work my "off hand" mechanics, which is a good thing.

A little disappointed in the accuracy. Maybe it will improve after a "Break-in" period. Have only used 3 CO2 cylinders so far. Can hit a soda can at 15 ft with good consistency but not getting a good "score" on paper. Expected better accuracy for the price. So far for me I'd call it a "Plinker" not target gun. I did add some Glo-Paint to the sights because I had some. Now its more like the white dots on my PPKS

Follow their instructions of using Steele BBs. Do not use lead BBs. Seriously worse accuracy with lead.

I love that they (Umarex) got rid of that unsightly blob of a bolt head for the CO2 (superscript #2 not allowed, wtf is that? ALT-0178... whatever) and kept the magnificent look the rest of the product had all along. Good heft, fast response, fairly accurate, nice mag capacity (got the extra mags) love the blow back slide. Sweet little pistol, real good at snake killing. Wife screams, time to put a fresh CO2 in it and take a walk out back by the pool here in Florida... Pretty good little pest controller too.

Maybe make a lever instead of the bolt for piercing the CO2? I like the Sig 226 that has that lever for the CO2... sweet design... surprised more aren't coming up with something like that. Fast and easy swap out of CO2 is the way to go.

It's got a nice weight and looks awesome. It's accuracy is good enough, it's not a sniper rifle, it's a small pocket sized pistol that can pop out more than a dozen steel BB's at your target right quick... I hesitated on buying it (I have a ton of airsoft and airguns, never mind real steel) but I really am glad I did, it's a sweet addition to my collection. Get the mags.

Excellent quality build. Love how they got rid of that clunky T-bolt head that used to be on the bottom of the grip. Sweet blow back action. Nice heft, good weight. Smooth operator. Well worth it.

Not a thing at this point. Might consider adding a threaded barrel version for a suppressor :-)

Get the package with the extra mags, you're going to want them.

My family and I are huge James Bond fans so when I saw this Walther PPK/S, I just had to have it! The weight and feel is similar to the real thing. Accuracy is pretty good for such a short barrel and it gets a lot of shots per CO2 cylinder (I forgot to count!). This BB pistol is a complete blast to shoot!

It would be nice to have a bit more power, but the the shots per CO2 cylinder would most likely be less. A bit more powerful slide spring would probably make the slide operate more smoothly, but I used some Crossman Pellgun oil and it is working better as I shoot more. All in all no huge defects.

Be prepared for some serious fun when this pistol arrives...I suggest buying extra magazines and CO2 and BBs in bulk because it is hard to put this one down!

Gun is a very excellent copy of the real gun. Nice and heavy and feels good in your hand.

The gun is very underpowered and even with a new co2 cartridge installed range is about 10-12 feet.

I think if I were to buy another handgun it would be a more expensive one which had a little more range. Disappointed in the PPK/S.

True to size, blowback action, fairly accurate, fun to shoot.

I would change the finish to the flat gray of the actual PPK-S.

At 15 ft, offhand, I had no trouble keeping the bb's on a playing card attached to the target. Fun for plinking.

This is an updated model of the previous version that was sold here. The piercing screw on the bottom of the grip has been re-done such that the screw is now flush with the bottom of the grip. A separate piece comes with the gun to tighten the screw to pierce the CO2 cartridge. Makes the gun look and feel much better.

Next update should be to move the safety from the side it is on to the other side as on the real gun.

It's only a BB gun not a PPK/S and should not be expected to perform as one. If spies are your game then buy a real one. This is fun for what it is.

All metal frame and slide. Close replica

Full metal drop out mag that hold co2 & bb's. Safety in same place as real firearm. Dot sights. Stronger slide/recoil spring.

The PPK/S is great and must have for all repicia airgun owners. But i think Umarex failed on this new version. Its the same as old/first version except with concealed co2 tab. Umarex could/should of fixed sticking slide with stronger recoil spring. Little more power would of been nice. Umarex makes great new mags (92A1&MP40)that are all metal and hold co2 & bb's , they should of made one for new ppk/s. Dot sights would of been nice. Over all the new PPK/S is a nice gun but no improvements over the old one except hidden co2 tap. Thank u pyramyd air for great customer service and info video's u provide.

Feels like the real thing. Has a nice blow back, well balanced.

It has a little bit sharp ends around the handle thus making it unconfortable if shooting for a longer period.

I have only shot one CO2 tube, but I can tell this air handgun is very accurate. I love this gun.

Nothing. I am very happy.

Buy the extra magazines. You will go through them quickly.

I like most everything about this pistol. The weight and feel of it is pretty close to what I expected.

I would put the tightening tool in the grip. It would be alot more convenient. Possibility. A little bit more detailed info on how to break the pistol down to clean and oil it.

For a fun pistol to shoot, buy extra magazines.

Faithful replicated version

Higher velocity.

The original version with the black external CO2 knob was a thumb killer; however, the pistol was so much fun to shoot. This newer version did away with the external knob and uses the provided key for screwing in the CO2 cartridge. The PPK/S feels & now looks exactly like the real thing and still fun to shoot.

It fits well in the hand, is extremely co2 efficient, and is a nice gear change from the more typical guns.

The magazine is kind of a pain to load. I don't mind that it's plastic but you have no choice but to hold down the BB follower while loading and it's rather awkward. Try to do something to improve accuracy. Even with the laser sight designed especially for it I still can't rein it in to create a shot group worth mentioning. If I had to guess I'd say about 1/3 of the shots go zooming off somewhere other than the POA.

A lot of folks have complained about the fps of this gun. Maybe I got lucky but mine hits pretty hard for such a little thing. I field stripped mine right away, cleaned and lubes it, and now I swear I hit 300 fps. I also have no problem hitting the target at 20+ feet. Definitely get the laser sight, it helps tremendously and while the gun itself isn't super accurate the laser gets you closer. This gun is just plain fun. It's different than the 1911s and larger semi-autos out there.

nice blowback

James Bond Gun! Looks and finish is great. Size is comparable to the original (not exact). Shoots fast enough to penetrate targets unlike an airsoft version which reflects BB from paper targets at 15 feet.

The gun is "Butt Ugly", but I fixed it easily by replacing the bottom knob with a set screw and washer from hardware store for less than $2. Wish it were DA/SA as in the original. Also, the magazine (clips) need to be made of metal like all others instead of cheap plastic. Mine broke in two weeks.

This item seem to be discontinued just after I bought, so no spare parts including magazines anymore. The accuracy is bad as explained by others but speed is decent enough for about 100 shots at 15 feet distance. After that it will shoot up to 150 shots, but at much lower speed.

Size

Add some power

Really just a toy, WAY under powered.

Number of shots per cartridge (+100 everytime). I've owned two of these with the first getting over 10,500 shots. Despite its 3.5" barrel, it gives you a consistent shooting pattern, but both mine shoot 4" high at a distance of 7-8 yards. Also, this has the tightest CO2 seal of all my firearms!

A topdown mag doing away with the exposed cartridge tightner.

Due to my Negligence in cleaning the first one, the dry copper ramrod stuck into the barrel, so always lubricate the rod and/or the barrel pior to cleaning.

I'm a retired NYS gunsmith with twenty years experience. This is one of fourteen assorted replica firearms I've purchased from Pyramyd Air and like all the others the quality, the price, the realism, and the attention to detail is exceptional.

Recess the CO2 cap into the grip

This replica is the next best thing to the original firearm.
