  1.  @billd66  : kriminell means , being a criminal', the word you mean is ,Krimialmodell' ( Kriminalpolizei means ,Detectives Service'')

  2.  @WALTERBROADDUS  : I am german, the word kurtz doesn't exist, you mean ,kurz' ( short).

  3.  @RiderOftheNorth.357 : Perhaps you listen to a german citizen. The model , PP' , which is the older one, means in german , Polizeipistole' ( police pistol) , both Polizei/ police and Pistole/ pistol are no words of germanic (!) origin. The younger model of this pistol was called PPK, for concealed carry the grip / Griff and barrel / Lauf was shortened/ gekürzt. So the K could mean kurz/ short because it was shorter than a PP. The word Kriminalmodell is also possible, because a ,Kriminalpolizist' is a detective in civilian cloth. The cartridge .22 lr was up to about 20 years ago in Germany , Austria and Switzerland called 22 lfB, which means ,lang für Büchsen' ( literal translation), the cartidge . 32 ACP is in German ,7,65 Browning' , no lang or kurz ( 7,65 lang is the german name for the french military pistol cartridge introduced 1935). And the .380 ACP is in german mostly ,9mm kurz' but really correct ,9 mm Browning kurz' , because there is also a ,9 mm Browning lang' which was in 1903 introduced by the swedish military, i don't know the english name. So the k in PPK doesn' t mean the cartridge.

  4.  @RiderOftheNorth.357  : Wrong button used! I read every month the ,Deutsches Waffen Magazin', i think i must not translate . In one of the last months i could read, that swedish police bought PP or PPK mostly in 7,65 Browning, but for training use some few in . 22 l.r. So i am not surprised, that you own such pistols..

  5.  @billd66  : No problem! My english is also not too good. The words kriminell and Kriminal.... are not true german origin. You can translate , a criminal' with , ein Krimineller' or ,ein Verbrecher'. And ,a case of crime' is either , ein Kriminalfall' ( exact literal translation !) or ,ein Verbrechen', you can use both.

  6.  @RiderOftheNorth.357  : I simply wanted to say, that you are right. The name PPK has nothing to do with the used cartridge. Y
