True...the PPK is smaller than the PPK/s
The PPK/S differs from the PPK as follows:
- Overall height: 104 mm (4.1 in)
- Weight: the PPK/S weighs 51 g (1.8 oz) more than the PPK
- The PPK/S magazine holds one additional round, in both calibers.
The version currently manufactured by
Smith & Wesson has been modified by incorporating a longer
grip tang, better protecting the shooter from
slide bite, i.e. the rearward-traveling slide's pinching the web between the index finger and thumb of the firing hand, which was a problem with the original PPK design.
