Also, the grip structure is quite different. In the PPK/S, the mainspring is enclosed by the steel grip frame and the grips are two panels on either side if the grip frame in a traditional manner. In the smaller PPK, the mainspring is exposed in back of the grip frame and the grips are a one piece wraparound type that covers the mainspring. I presume, but don't know, that this was done to save weight. And, of course, the PPK/S holds one more round.
