Walther PPK/S – Interarms – American-Made Classic
For sale is a
Walther PPK/S semi-automatic pistol, chambered in
.380 Auto (9mm Kurz). This pistol is in
great used condition and is the iconic American-made version produced under license by
Interarms in the United States (Gadsden, AL) between 1983 and 1999. Serial Number:
020043.
The PPK/S was developed to comply with the Gun Control Act import restrictions, combining the PPK's slide and barrel with the PP's longer grip frame. This American-made example is identified by
"INTERARMS" stamped on the right side of the slide and
"MADE IN USA" on the left side. It features a
blued steel frame, a
3.3-inch barrel, and
black plastic grips with the classic Walther banner. The pistol is a
double-action/single-action (DA/SA) design with a
slide-mounted decocker lever for safe hammer lowering. Sights include a
red-dot front sight and a
red-line rear sight for fast acquisition. It comes with
one 7-round magazine.
