Re: Walther PPK???

The PPK/S just has a longer frame than the original PPK, a "bureaucrat's gun" designed a couple of decades ago in order to make the requisite number of "points" to be importable.

The pistols were made famous by Ian Fleming in his "James Bond" novels, and they're decent, but IMHO there are better choices for concealed carry, primarily because not all examples exhibit sterling reliability.

The .32s are WAY too big for the caliber, and despite the cartridge's popularity in Europe, it's not really a "stopper" even among handgun rounds.
