Umarex Exciting NEW Walther PPK/S now being made But....

[Bluemill]

Looks like Umarex Germany has been making a very authentic PPK/S Green Gas airsoft pistol since the fall of 2024. There is a lot of videos on YouTube of the all black pistol that includes a full functioning safety including the de-cocking function, drop out 1:1 magazine for 13 airsoft 6 mm bb's , and a GBB tank for power. The mag also has the ergonomic bottom of the piece that looks totally like the real thing too.

BUT- Don't get too excited as it's not offered in the USA, as Umarex USA hasn't got them. I'm getting from them that "If the model you are looking for is not offered by Umarex USA then it may not be an available option." So it sounds like Germany determines what Umarex USA can sell here. I can only hope they make the pistol an option here.

I tried contacting Germany and they did not get back to me.

Does not surprise me any. Germans.

I asked the question on Google: Will the new Walther PPK/S VFC GBB airsoft ever be sold in US? The answer was yes from 2 Taiwan airsoft vendors, Red Wolf Airsoft and Swit Airsoft. Redwolf said they did not have the pistol in stock, while Swit said they did so I ordered and paid. They said they would let me know when they ship. I ordered on May 23, but have not heard from them since, 5 days later. I paid $43 for air mail shipping- hope they do have a way to get this to me, through customs, etc. I'll keep you posted on this order. Yours, Bluemill

I was able to get the Umarex/Walther/PPK/s GBB delivered to the USA!

I kept looking at the many videos on YouTube of this wonderful replica pistol and found myself DROOLING on my laptop! After trying to get answers from Umarex, both USA and Germany on future availability that led nowhere, I decided to take another tack.

I asked Google: "Can you order and have delivered to the USA the new PPK/S GBB by VFC for Umarex" They came back with "YES via Swit Airsoft or RedWolf Airsoft" the latter is from Hong Kong, the former from Taiwan. Pricing not cheap but worth it at $180, and then go with UPS shipping which gets it to you quicker, and customs arrangements are covered.

REVIEW: This pistol was worth it, and as a very experienced airpistol hobbyist, (I own 15) it is now defiintely my best, just edging out the Umarex Smith and Wesson model 29 bb series revolvers. I am very familiar with the real PPK/S and this replica is virtually identical in all dimensions except the beaver tail is smaller, like a 1960's Bond type. It has double action, great feel and balance, the green gas mag is in scale to a .380 mag, and the working safety is nice, although it does not go all the way to the right when putting it on safe, not quite covering the red dot FIRE icon. It does do its job well though. This is my first Green Gas pistol so bear with me on this aspect of the gun. It has plenty of POP after just filling it with gas but I notice the gas seems to bleed off over night. I got a 3 way GG tool from the big A and tightned up the valves on the clip but it still seeems to bleed off. BUT it's easy to gas it up again- like you would gas up a lighter with butane. I feel less worry about wasting a CO2 cartridge for obvious reasons. Power is not great but it's plenty for plinking, which is the mainstay of airsoft. The field stripping is complete and fun! It has an adjustment for raising or lowering the barrel which I have not changed as it has been accurate so far.

My only beef is that there is not a notch stay to hold back the feed spring of the mag as you load the 6mm airsoft bbs. They do give you a nice little peice to put into the clip so that you can continue to shoot without bbs without it jamming the slide in the way back position- both of which work well. At first I thought the gun was powder coated but now I think after about a month wear marks are in the very good paint job.

There is no federally mandated language or symbols on the pistol, only authentic Walther logos and serial numbers- perhaps a reason they can't be readily imported yet??

Absolutely love this gun! Highly recommended.
