I was considering retiring my 1973 Walther PPK/s with a new stainless version. Two things stopped me. The first was price. At around $700 -$800, it doesn't fit the $ to value matrix. I would still buy it at $700 just because I like them and have had one for around 35 years.
The one thing that is the real stopper is the milled sights. I don't know why Walther milled the rear sight. When I tried Federal HST's in my PPK/s it suddenly started shooting a little high and to the left. The height I can deal with and I can drift the rear sight on mine - the HST is snappier than my old Federal HP's. What happens if the same thing happens with the new one with no way to adjust the sights?
