Bound's hubby here:
Your PPK is marked with the caliber: 7.65mm. The PPK was/is made in only 2 calibers ... 7.65mm (.32ACP) and 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP).
Good luck and enjoy your find!

I would not conceal carry a .32 at all and only a .380 on occasion. Even James Bond has moved away from the PPK and moved to the P99 (9mm) . There are a lot of pocket 9mm's on the market today.. I would take a look at those kel tec PF9 Beretta Nano Ruger LC9 Walther PPS (9mm) Kahr CW9 good luck

Your Walthers PPK is marked 7.65mm? Then it is a .32acp only. If it is marked .9mm Kurtz, then it is .380acp. These cartridges do not interchange. Of course, if it was made state-side it would be marked .380acp.
Remington has the solution, hollow-point ammo that will feed in guns that only feed ball ammo. Also try Winchester Silvertips and Fiocchi (if you can find it). Fiocchi makes a hollow-point ammo that rivals the best .380 ammo. You'll find that your .32acp recoils less than the .380 and for women and people with really small hands, this is an excellent choice.

It will state the calibre right on the barrel. 7.65 is the metic name for a .32 calibre cartridge. If you that unfamiliar with the gun, why did you buy it ? You should almost ALWAYS pic a calibre FIRST, then find the best gun that you can afford that fires that calibre. Not the other way around as so many people do. A gun is merely a tool. ie... hunting big game, small game, carry and conceal, self protection at home, etc. You pick a calibre for your needs FIRST, then the gun. Anyways, you can take it to ANY gunshop or place that sells ammo and they can tell you in a second what I've shared with you and sell you the correct ammo. BTW with that gun, round nose ammo is your absolute best bet. Hollow points will be nothing but grief.

The Bond gun was in 7.65 caliber (32auto), which would not be the choice of most American shooters, due to it's low power levels, and uncertain stopping power.
The .32 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) pistol cartridge is a semi-rimmed, straight-walled cartridge developed by firearms designer John Browning, for use in semi-automatic pistols. It is also known as the 7.65 x 17 mm Browning or 7.65 Browning. Introduced in 1899 by Fabrique Nationale, the cartridge was first used in the Browning M1900.

7.65 mm is metric for .32 caliber. A .380 caliber is also called the 9mm Kurtz

The 7.65mm Browning is equivalent to .32"ACP, and the .380" ACP=9mm Kurz.

Neither! You must use the 7.65mm cartridge. 7.65mm converts mathematically to .301 cal.
