Description
When you own a Walther PPK/S, you want a spare magazine you can trust completely. Mec-Gar has been producing the factory PPK/S magazines for Walther for years, meaning this is essentially the same magazine that came in the box with your pistol, just without the Walther stamp on it. That's not marketing talk; that's how OEM magazine production works.
The construction here is all business. The magazine tube is heat-treated carbon steel with an anti-corrosion blue-oxide finish, precision TIG-welded along the seam and polished to tight tolerances. The spring is fabricated from high-tensile music wire, which keeps feeding consistent round after round without taking a set prematurely. Inside, the feeding ribs are precisely formed to guide rounds smoothly from the bottom of the tube up through the feed lips without slowing down or hanging up. Witness holes run from round 2 through 7 so you can do a quick round count at a glance.
This specific version comes with a flat metal floorplate that sits flush with the grip of the PPK/S. That's a clean, low-profile setup that works well for carry, keeps the profile slim, and still allows the magazine to drop free cleanly when you hit the release. If you prefer a finger rest extension for range use or simply want a better grip purchase, Mec-Gar offers that variant separately, and their finger rest floorplates are also sold as a standalone swap-out.
This magazine fits the Walther PPK/S chambered in .380 ACP. Note that the PPK and PPK/S use different magazines and they are not interchangeable, so make sure you are ordering for the correct model. Whether you are picking up a spare, replacing a worn original, or just stocking an extra, this is the magazine to reach for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Mec-Gar magazine truly compatible with the Walther PPK/S, or is it an aftermarket copy?
Mec-Gar is the actual OEM manufacturer behind the factory magazines that Walther ships with their PPK/S pistols. The Mec-Gar-branded version is built on the same tooling, to the same specs, just sold under the Mec-Gar name rather than Walther's. It is not a copy or a generic alternative; it is the source.
Will this PPK/S magazine work with my Walther PPK (.380 ACP)?
No, the PPK and PPK/S use different magazines and they are not interchangeable. The PPK/S has a taller grip frame than the PPK, which is why the PPK/S magazine holds 7 rounds versus the PPK's 6. Make sure you are ordering the magazine specific to your model.
What is the difference between this flush floorplate version and the finger rest version?
This magazine uses a flat metal floorplate that sits flush with the bottom of the PPK/S grip, which keeps the profile slim and works well for carry. The finger rest version adds a polymer extension below the grip for a fuller hand purchase, which many people prefer for range shooting or if they have larger hands. Both versions hold 7 rounds; it comes down to personal preference and intended use.
My new Mec-Gar magazine spring feels very stiff and I am having trouble loading it to full capacity. Is that normal?
Yes, that is completely normal with new magazines. Fresh high-tensile springs are stiff out of the box and can make loading the last round or two a bit of a struggle until the spring breaks in. Loading and unloading the magazine repeatedly over time, or simply leaving it loaded for a few weeks, will allow the spring to settle without affecting its long-term reliability.
Does this magazine drop free when the release is pressed, or does it need to be pulled out?
The Mec-Gar PPK/S magazine is a drop-free design. The magazine tube is tapered to match the contour of the PPK/S's beveled magazine well, which allows it to release cleanly when the mag release button is pressed. The PPK/S's magwell is fairly tight, so a smooth, properly fitted magazine like this one makes reloads much more consistent.
How does Mec-Gar protect the magazine body against rust and corrosion?
This version uses a blue-oxide finish, also referred to as blued or anti-corrosion blue-oxide, applied to the heat-treated carbon steel tube. It offers reasonable protection against light moisture and handling wear. If your PPK/S is a carry gun that will see sweat or humidity regularly, Mec-Gar also produces a nickel-finish version of this magazine that offers greater corrosion resistance for those conditions.
