Manurhin PPK/S Opinions
- Thread starter FPrice
- Start date
No, but I have a .32 Manurhin PP and it is a fine pistol. It is reliable with FMJ's and Speer Gold Dot hollowpoints. (These pistols were manufactured to function with round nose jacketed ammunition so don't expect it to be reliable with hollowpoints.) I think mine is early production, 1950-1954, because the Manurchin trademark is on the slide and grips.
A year ago at a sporting goods store I paid $225. Came with owner's manual (1 English, 1 German), cleaning rod, spare magazine, and box. .380's seem to be more popular these days so will cost a little more. I feel a good price is one you're happy with.

That price is great.
One of gunmakings dirty little secrets, is that those "Wonderful quality German made Walther PP pistols", were made by Manurhin
in France.
In Europe, it's a common business practice to ship products to other countries and mark them as from that country. There, where a gun is actually proofed, is considered the country of manufacture. Manurhin made the guns, they were shipped a few miles over the border to the Walther plant at Ulm, proof fired, had grips mounted, and boxed. Instant "German manufacturing quality"
The Walther and Manurhin marked guns were made on the same production lines by the same people. the only difference is, the Manurhin guns owner's manual had the Walther logo's airbrushed off the pictures and a Manurhin's airbrushed in. my two guns had the exact same manual as the Walther marked guns, and came in the exact same plastic box, with a Manurhin label on the end.
In other words, you're getting a Walther PPK/s with a different mark on the slide, at a great price.

AS NOTED HERE ALREADY, ALL WALTHERS MADE AFTER WWII
WERE MANUFACTURED BY MANURHIN IN FRANCE UNTIL INTERARMS MOVED THEIR MANUFACTURE OVER HERE IN THE '80'S...[ I THINK IT WAS THE 80'S ]
These are damn fine pistols though. One of my PP7.65MM pistols has all WALTHER markings down one side of the pistol and all MANURHIN markings on the other side. It came in a WALTHER box.
It shoots beautifully with numerous loads...all but CORBON'S...
