The Walther PPK (Polizei Pistole Kriminalmodell) is a compact semi-automatic pistol that was originally designed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen in the early 1930s.

The PPK is chambered for the 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) cartridge, which is a relatively low-powered round primarily intended for self-defense purposes. It features a double-action/single-action trigger mechanism, allowing the user to either pull the trigger for each shot or manually cock the hammer for a single-action shot. The magazine capacity typically ranges from six to eight rounds. Its compact size, combined with its lightweight design, makes the PPK an ideal choice for concealed carry or as a backup weapon for law enforcement officers.

Overall, the Walther PPK has become iconic, it was known as the gun that Hitler shot and killed himself with in the Führerbunker in Berlin. The Walther PPK was also James Bond's trademark gun in many of his films and novels: Ian Fleming's choice of the Walther PPK directly influenced its popularity and its notoriety.
