I Picked Up Another PPK Login/Join

This time it's the Interarms licensed USA version before Smith and Wesson took over. Ranger Arms manufactured them. It's a 1989 and I do believe the serials started in 1983 once production was set up.

They are good pistols without the ugly serial pit of the Smith and Wesson.

I have an old Interarms PPK/S. It’s beautiful. It’s an awful shooter. I will never get rid of it. I love your gun and would have bought it too. When S&W added that horrendous beaver tail it was all over for me. I would rather get bit by the slide than be seen with that awful beaver tail. Lol

Very nice, a PPK is on my shortlist of 'just because' pistols.

It looks like a swimming pool cut into the frame with an ugly laser burned number and QR code.

Think you nailed it. I got the box down and it has a label "WALTHER PPK 380 ACP STAINLESS 088". Seems like I carried it longer than that, The Rodney King riots were in 1992. After I saw that guy get dragged from his truck and smacked in the head with a cinder block I bought a Beretta 92FS.

I lost one like that in a burglary. I still miss that gun, I loved it. Back then the HP technology wasn't there in terms of nose geometry and ballistics compatibility with that particular model, but if I still had that gun I'm pretty sure I'd find some reliable defense ammo to shoot in it. When I was young I used to empty magazines of ball ammo reloads into mud ground right in front of me. Lots of useless testosterone got used up, probably for the better back then.

I bought a Colt Trooper in 357mag with a 6" barrel. Carried her in my work vehicle for years.

OP, nice PPK! Is that 380 or 32?

I ended up making an impulse buy for a blue finish PPK/S in 380. A PPK in 32 would have been more of interest, but the novelty of the serial number beginning with “007” pushed me over the cliff.

Given the right opportunity for a nice shooter in 32, I would take the leap again whether it be a PPK or PPK/S…

What’s not to like about a “cool” all steel pistol?
