Film:

Walther PPK

• While the K would commonly stand for kurz, German for "Short", PPK means Polizei Pistole Kriminal, the Criminal Police Pistol, noted by its compact criminal size. The Walther PPK is a shortened version of the Walther PP. Since it was the most common compact pistol of WW2 (for the German forces) it is the most famous as well as being the weapon of choice for 007 James Bond.

Note, the K does indeed stand for Kriminal, however, this term needs some fleshing out. It is refered to as Kriminal not because of any prefered usage of smaller guns by Criminals, but because this is the gun issued to the Criminal division, i.e. the people who investigate crimes, which would be termed 'Detectives Division' in most United States police forces. Just like most patrolmen in the USA carried a 4 inch revolver, but the Detectives often carried a snubnose revolver (colt specifically calling their's the Detective Special) so to did the investigative branch of the German Police desire to carry a smaller version of the full sized patrolman's duty weapon.

Walther PPK/S

Due to U.S. firearm regulations, certain bans made the Walther PPK too small for sale in America, so to fix the problem, they slapped a PPK slide on a PP frame and built the PPK/S. The most notable way to tell a PPK from a PPK/S is its finish (a PPK/S is far more common as a stainless gun than a PPK) and longer frame spur.
