Yes, at one time even Walther PPK pistols had 'target' grips, i.e. grips with a [somewhat theoretical] thumb rest. Then production was switched to the US, under S&W (to get around even tighter 'Saturday Night Special rules and/or to allow production and sale of even smaller models, like the PPKs), and apparently some buyers complained that the American-made PPK/PPKs pistols came without the 'original' grips... not realizing that the grips they thought were the 'originals' were, in fact, the 'US market only' target grips..!
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
