The only caveat I would offer on the PPK is this: There is no firing pin block safety. In other words, when you decock the pistol, a sharp blow to the hammer, or dropping it on the hammer will cause the pistol to fire.

That doesn't mean the design is not safe, it is just something that should be pointed out in this day of modern Crunchentickers with hammer block safeties. It is important that you carry the Walther PPK in a properly fitted holster to prevent dropping the weapon.
