Get an FEG PA63. It's a copy of the PPK, to the point that a lot of parts are interchangable - I just replaced my broken ejector spring with a PPK spring and it fit perfectly. It's also aluminum alloy-framed so it's nice and light. It's also fun to shoot. I've put probably near 1000 rounds through it in the 3 sessions I've shot in the past month and a half of ownership. The downside is that you're limited to 9mm Mak ammo, which you generally can't find at a big box store. The Hornady JHP is supposed to be excellent ammo for this gun, which I'm going to be testing out here in the next few days. Also, if you get one, don't shoot anything above 95 grains out of it - it's not designed for that. But really, it's a nice gun, cheap (Aim Surplus sells them for $130 with 2 mags), and it's pretty for a milsurp gun.

An update to this: A few weeks ago I tried out the Hornady XTP ammo, and WOW! The brass is really slick, and you can feel the difference in how smooth the ammo feeds when it's cycling. It was some really nice ammo, and I've got some on order to use as my carry ammo.
