Hi there,

Will properly fit a Manhurin copy of the Walther PP slide on a
Walther PPK frame? Both in 380ACP.

Cheers.

It might, but such a conversion will likely involve a trip to the
gunsmith to move the slightly longer fixed barrel fom the PP to the
PPK. While you're there you can move the PPK slide, barrel, and
recoil spring to the PP frame and you'll have a PPK/S. Be well.

So I understand that the PP and the PPK slides has both the same size?
The only difference is the PP barrel being a bit larger?

So replacing the original PPK barrel for a PP one then the PP slide
will fit on the frame nicely?

I hope you can help me.

Cheers.

It would probably be prudent to just take it to a good
gunsmith to evaluate the possibility. :-)

PPK = short slide
short bbl
reduced grip/reciever (no steel backstrap)
PP = long slide
long bbl
large grip/reciever (full steel backstrap)
PPK/s= PP grip/reciever
PPK slide
PPK bbl

The PPK/s is an abortion caused by a desire to meet GCA '68 standards for import.

What you want to create is even more curious, a PPK lower and a PP upper.

At a minimum you'd have to swap barrels with a PP to use the slide.

What's the point?
