Need help identifying this tiny gun that seems to be a PPK Variant...

ninjarealist · January 18, 2015, 11:47 PM

I was trying to look up if there were miniaturized versions of the PPK platform and came across this image:

What is the gun at the bottom of this picture? It looks to be almost like a miniature PPK but I can't find info on any such gun existing. Is this just the .25 ACP version of the PPK or something more exotic?

All help is greatly appreciated.

It says Interarms on the slide.

I believe that's the 22LR version.

It looks like a Walther TPH, the interarms cartouch not withstanding, does it have any Walther markings?

Warwagon is right, TPH .22LR. I've always wanted one of those.

TPH. Made in .22LR & .25 ACP.

Kinda reminds me of the Budischowsky TP-70 autos from the early-mid 70's, but the lines on the pistol you show are too graceful for it to be one of those.

That is a stainless PPK/S .380 on top left, Walther PP .32acp with Pachmayr grips on the right and a .22lr Interarms TPH with aftermarket wood grips. The pics are of my pistols. That photo was taken on my new deck several years ago. I thought it made a nice background.

Here's the flip side.

Here's the TPH in .25acp. A hard to find gun these days. I was fortunate to find both of these tiny Walthers.

Here's another PPK clone; an American Arms PX22. Not the same quality though.

Here's another small PPK type .22lr, a FEG SMC-22. A nice gun, well made and robust but not as refined as the Walther.

Another Walther PP clone, perhaps my favorite is the Daewoo DP22. While not a miniature PPK, but rather a full size PP, it is as well made as any Walther product I've ever seen. A utilitarian finish, but perfect machining and quality.

One of my prized finds is this really nice Walther PP in .22lr.

I'm attracted to this Genre of firearms as you can see. These are some of my favorites in my collection. All are fun to shoot.

They were well thought of .22 and .25 pistols in the 70's and 80's.....

The German made versions...yes.
The American made version had a reputation of being a jammer.

@PSP

Nice collection! That .25 ACP TPH is gorgeous
