As quoted from <34989@mimsy.umd.edu> by gordonh@milton.u.washington.edu (Gordon Hayes):

# Is there a full 9mm Walther PPK?

No.  There WAS a prototype 9x19mm PP before the war, called the MP.  Like most
blowback 9x19mms it was unsuccessful.  It was their SECOND unsuccessful attempt
at a blowback 9x19mm.  I forget the model number of the previous WWI
experiment.  7 or 9 I think.  Like the MP, it was a hyperthyroid version of an
existing blowback 7.65mm.

Whatever you're willing to pay...?  :)
