The PPK is a compact version of the Walther PP. The history of the post-war PPK is similar to that of the PP. Licensed to Manurhin during the post-war ban, it was made in France until 1964. Point based restrictions introduced by the US Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 required imported pistols to have a certain height, length and weight specifications, halting the importation of the PPK. Walther introduced the PPK/S variant that met GCA requirements, allowing importation to continue. Ultimately, the problem resolved by licensing the actual production of the PPK to manufacturers in the US, avoiding the DCA point problem altogether. PPK/S production stopped in Germany when production began in the US.
