Umarex has stopped making the Walther PPK/S bb pistol and nobody has any in stock. It was the first BB pistol with blowback, and was made by Crosman initially, then Umarex with the help of Walther, which made this an exciting replica air gun design when introduced in 1999. I got mine back in 2002 and kept it working well by ordering parts from Umarex in Fort Smith Arkansas. That pistol really got me into the hobby.
I'm hoping that Umarex will do an updated version with a dropout mag that includes the CO2 cartridge, like the Baretta 84FS and Makarov Ultra. I'm not the only one from the looks other forum posts. The real gun is a classic as it was James Bond's concealed carry pistol from the start of the fictional series, but more importantly, it's the gun that Hitler shot himself with.
If anyone hears about a new design of this pistol in a bb or airsoft in CO2 please let me know via this site- private message.
My last old frame cracked due to overtightening, trying to stop a leak upon installing a new CO2 cartridge. My son was kind enough to give me the first generation one I gave him 9 years ago. He was not that into it so it is like brand new! He had the original CO2 canister STILL in it!! The gas was gone but it worked when I put in a new cartridge- a Umarex via Amazon. I gave it to him with a modified CO2 tightener - the one with the button head Allen bolt, anodized in black. As a final precaution I put 2 drops of BAR'S LEAK -automatic transmission leak sealer on the old, very crushed- (for NINE YEARS) CO2 seal. BAM!! it worked like it was just made. The Bar's Leak stuff, as prescribed by Tom Gaylord, (B.B. Pelitierre) really does WORK.
I maintain that the right sized button head- Allen head driver bolt is the best way to tighten your CO tube on first gen Umarex PPK bb pistols... Right now my 2014 pistol is working like new. BUT I still think Umarex should do a revised 3rd generation of the famous pistol.
