Description
If you’re looking for a reliable rimfire that mirrors the classic Walther feel without the recoil of a centerfire, the Walther PPK/s Handgun in .22 LR with a 10-round magazine and 3.3-inch threaded barrel in a two-tone black stainless finish is a solid choice. This pistol offers the same ergonomics and controls as its larger-caliber counterparts, making it ideal for training new shooters or for plinking. It ships with one 10-round magazine and includes a factory-threaded barrel with a 1/2×28 thread pitch, ready for a suppressor or compensator.

Key Features
- Threaded Barrel (1/2×28): Factory-installed 3.3-inch barrel with standard 1/2×28 threads means you can attach a suppressor or compensator without aftermarket modifications. This is a big plus for quiet training or reduced muzzle rise.
- Loaded Chamber Indicator: A visible red indicator pops up when a round is chambered, giving you an immediate visual check. This is a safety feature I appreciate when teaching new shooters to verify condition.
- SA/DA Trigger: Single-action/double-action trigger system lets you carry cocked-and-locked (SA) or rely on a longer, heavier first pull (DA). That DA pull is a built-in safety mechanism for holster carry or training.
- Two-Tone Finish: Silver stainless slide paired with a black anodized aluminum frame resists corrosion and looks sharp. The contrast helps with sight acquisition during fast drills.
- Standard Slide Serrations: Serrations front and rear provide a positive grip for press checks or clearing malfunctions, even with sweaty or gloved hands.
Who It’s For
This Walther PPK/s .22 LR is built for training students, new shooters, and anyone who wants a rimfire version of the classic PPK platform. It’s also a smart buy for experienced shooters looking for a low-recoil suppressor host or a plinker that shares controls with their centerfire carry gun. The 10-round magazine capacity is compliant in most states, and the threaded barrel opens up options for quiet shooting.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Factory threaded barrel, loaded chamber indicator, SA/DA trigger, two-tone corrosion-resistant finish, 10-round magazine, reliable feeding with quality .22 LR ammo.
- Cons: The trigger pull weight can vary (+/- 1 lb tolerance per Walther), and the double-action pull is heavy — roughly 10–12 lbs — which may be a challenge for shooters with smaller hands. Also, .22 LR can be ammo-sensitive; stick with high-velocity rounds for best reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thread pitch on the barrel?
The barrel has a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch, which is the most common size for .22 LR suppressors and compensators. You’ll find plenty of compatible accessories.
Does this pistol have an optics cut?
No, the Walther PPK/s .22 LR does not come with an optics cut. The slide is designed for standard iron sights only. If you want a red dot, you’ll need to use a dovetail mount or aftermarket slide.
Is this the same size as the .380 PPK/s?
Yes, the .22 LR version has nearly identical external dimensions to the .380 ACP PPK/s, including the same grip angle, controls, and overall length. This makes it a great training companion for the centerfire model.
What magazines are compatible?
This pistol uses dedicated Walther PPK/s .22 LR 10-round magazines. Do not use .380 ACP magazines — they are not interchangeable. It ships with one magazine.
Is the loaded chamber indicator reliable?
Yes, the loaded chamber indicator is a mechanical pin that rises above the slide when a round is chambered. It’s simple and works consistently with .22 LR ammunition, though it’s always wise to manually verify with a press check.
