    I have a PPK in 9mm kurz and 7.65mm....

    I would not carry either for self defense......I have better guns for that.....

    If it were the only gun I had for self defense........

    I would trade it for a better gun....or buy a better one...

    jmho....

    I routinely carry a PPK in 380.

    Interarms.

    Kydex. OWB. Spare mag in pocket.

    My only " concerns" involve The holster allowing the safety to rub on my skin. So, not really a complaint about the firearm, itself.

    Stainless Interarms PPK in .380
    Carry in a homemade/modified IWB or an old Bianchi Silent Partner rig.
    I put it up recently in favor of a Beretta 81 in .32

    The Interarms PPKS .380 was my first "carry gun" way back before Texas had CHL's. It conceals very well. I was (temporarily) poor, & my only other handguns were the Python and a couple .22LR/WMR revolvers.

    When I was a child, Dad had a n.i.b. NAZI PPK in 7.65 (.32ACP) which I was the first to shoot. I really had a hard time hitting anything with it. My Nephew has that one now. I call it his "pop-gun".

    The .380 wasn't much better.

    I later gave Son #1 the stainless version in .380. Both now live in our respective safes.

    Wonderful to carry, hard to shoot accurately.

    Soorrrreeeee. Your trolling is entirely correct. They are neat and were a technical marvel at the time, in 1929, but nowadays there's a ton better carry guns available, including, ironically, variants of the even older 1911.

    Yep, add me to the list. I still have a ppk/s in 380, but it's to heavy for EDC. I just leave the threaded barrel on it for bond fans to enjoy touching it.
    My s&w body guard replaced it for 380 carry.
