Thank you for the info on the Walthers.

This may sound strange but I prefer the weight of a heavy firearm, one that I 'know' is there if that makes sense.

When my CHL was valid I carried a Taurus M85 in Full Stainless, before I knew better than to buy a Taurus. That was a pretty heavy firearm, but I preferred the weight. Then I moved to a NAA 32 guardian.

I will probably pick up a S&W 60 or 686 for my everyday carry once I get my CHL again.

I also have a personal preference away from polymer.

Id LIKE a Kimber Ultra Eclipse, but I may be a bit too small of frame to be able to conceal one effectively.

Considering a 'modern' Walther PPK.

Good Morning Folks.

I am considering picking up a Walther PPK for my wife and possibly for myself as well.

I have shot them before, and my hands are smaller so they feel pretty nice.

CHL wise I am used to carrying a revolver for reliability but hey, variety is the spice of life.

I know that a while back Walther's as manufactured by S&W were ALL recalled due to a problem with the safety.

My questions have to do with the quality of manufacture of these modern S&W Walthers and if I would be better served getting an older Interarms Walther, or maybe even something farther back. S&W makes great revolvers, but I am totally inexperienced with their automatics.

Also, what is the difference (Besides being totally different guns) between the Walther PP, PPK and PPKS.

Thanks.
