It is a PPK/Walther, you will like it.
Had one for 40 years. Runs good.

The tang is longer on the S&W than the orig. guns . I had an older gun that jammed when lint got in the action which it did with ease . Mine was the PPKs to be exact .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

I have one in 32 Auto and have had no feed problems whatsoever. It is a bit heavier than the "plastic" guns like the Ruger but I like a little heft in any gun I carry.
Perception is everything. For instance, a crowded elevator smells different to a midget.

Hey Nor....I'd say buy and then send it to LaRocca Gun Works in Worcester, MA.  He'll slick and trick and it'll be better than when you bought it.

The longer tang should help with reducing the bite---a thing common with the Original PPK/PPKS.
I have observed the bite--frequently.
