Howdy y'all,

I was reading the thread about the new PPQ M2 and noticed this little jewel on Walther's new American-market website:

http://www.waltherarms.com/products/handguns/ppks-22/

I believe this the first time in about 25 years that Walther has sold an actual German-made PP-series variant in the USA.

I'm curious whether this pistol will come from Walther's home plant in Ulm or from the Umarex plant in Köln (Cologne); other than the high-end target pistols, recent rimfire Walthers have been made by Umarex, but those guns usually incorporated a good deal of plastic, and it appears that this pistol does not.

Thoughts?
