A pistol made by the Walther company of Germany. There is some confusion about whether it means "Pistol Polizei Kriminal" or "Pistol Polizei Kurz." The first would reflect its use by the German undercover police, while the second merely refers to the German word for "short" or "compact." These are smaller versions of the PP pistol. These guns were banned from importation to the US by the Gun Control Act of 1968, but now are produced in the US.
I carry a Walther PPK in .32 ACP for personal protection.
