Are you seeing the same thing I am? Or are my eyes that fawked up?

I see it too. I’d just email Remington with the serial number. Hopefully, the new owners didn’t throw away all the records.

 

[malinoisvol]

Sent them an email. Now I wait.

Those first 2 symbols before the MDD are a (1) Deer and (2) a flying bird. HBPW looked at them and guessed it right off.

Question for those of you that follow these things more than I do. Does Walther still manufacture the PPK in .380? I've been intermittently checking stock online and haven't seen a new one in what seems like years.

Did not know it comes in any other caliber. A lgs I frequent here in Nashville had some earlier this year but I haven’t seen one in a bit either. COVID caused a lot of issues with Euro imports. I think PPk has a major component that is only made in Germany. Store where I remember seeing is Nashville Gun and Knife.

I think they used to make a .22. Last time I went to Nashville Gun and Knife was during the worst part of covid and they were cleaned out. I spent a weekend looking for 12 gauge target loads and there were none to be found.

@Orangeslice13 about what would one of these cost ?

My buddy sold one at his shop that had some wear for 675$ and it sold quickly. I’d say 700$ to 900$ is a good range.
Buying or selling?

 

[Orangeslice13]

Gun broker has the 40 s and w at 400-500$
9mm 650-1200$ depending on model

Buddy of mine at church just got cleared yesterday to become a dealer. I'm both happy for him, and me

Cop friend wants to sell his, its a cool looking gun I think

Value goes up with the SRT installed and if it has the E2 grip (like the one in the picture)

The 9mm is worth it. The .40 can beat your hands up pretty good otherwise. SSC has a really nice 229 in 9mm in the two tone finish.

Stay with 9mm due to ammo costs and availability.

Got the wife (and me) a S&W M&P Shield .380 EZ. Great intermediate sized "compact". Easily racks. Shoots fantastic, good weight. (Hated my step-sons pocket .380). But still concealable, though not a micro model. Multiple safeties. Accessory rail. Lot of features for not a lot of $$. Shoot reputable FMJ's out of it for target. Keep a clip of NovX in for defense. Shown below. Love how these shoot. I've got average hands and my pinky is right at bottom of grip. I went on amazon and ordered a contoured replacement end cap for the magazine that gives it that pinky rest for about $10. Need to get one for the other clip. We got lucky and got last one in stock at Academy for under $300 about 6 months or so ago. For the money in a .380, I wouldn't get anything else. Mostly I'm hooked on Beretta 9mm. But, years ago, I sold off my pistols and all but 2 rifles (new family budget, etc) and this is my first pistol since. I wouldn't pay extra for the Walther when I can get this for under $300. Not sure if prices are jacked up now though.

GVG has one in 9mm. Bought from a friend for $300 several years ago.

See, it may be worth it to unblock you during the holidays

Bought one about 6 months ago and I like it. Been looking for a PPK just because I think it would be cool to add to the collection. I like the look.

I have the Sig variation - P232 in stainless. Also have the Bursa sister version (Firestorm). in addition to the PPK I'd like to grab a Beretta 85 Cheetah. Basically the round up of .380 blowback guns. Completely impractical but cool as hell.

I've got the 9mm SRT E2. Didn't know they were worth that much. I think it was an Elite that some modified some - bought it used about 5 years ago.

EDIT: Didn't see it was a 229. I have the full size 226.
