Bond Fans Beware: Walther PPK Discontinued

Bond fans are getting upset, as it has been confirmed that the Walther PPK has been discontinued, as has the PPK/S and PP. For fans of the classic German pocket pistol, it marks the end of an era. These models have been among the most recognizable concealed-carry pistols for nearly a century. Their silhouettes remain icons of European firearm design.

The company is positioning this stop as a multiyear pause while engineers work on a new generation. Walther says the goal is to bring a modern take on the classic lineup without losing the lines and mechanical character that made these pistols famous. That could mean the PPK, PP and PPK/S will be off the production schedule for years as the next chapter is designed.

The End of the PPK/S

With this announcement, the current PPK/S as we know it has reached the end of its run. The model has already lived several lives, from German development to American licensed production to its most recent U.S. manufacturing. Even with these changes, the core profile of the PPK/S has stayed remarkably faithful to the original. Walther’s PPK discontinuation decision closes the book on that long lineage.

Walther has also confirmed that all remaining new production pistols have already been shipped to distributors and dealers. There are no more in the pipeline and no additional runs planned. Whatever is on shelves today represents the final inventory of the current generation.

Finding Discontinued Walther PPK Pistols

For collectors and shooters who still want one of the last new production PPK or PP models, the window is closing quickly. With distributors emptied and retail racks thinning out, the secondary market becomes the most reliable place to find them. GunBroker already shows a steady rise in listings and interest as buyers recognize these pistols will not return in their current form.

If you want to add a new production PPK/S or PP to your collection, now is the moment to act. Once this final inventory is gone, it is gone for good.
