The PPK/S Blued is an iconic model, renowned worldwide for its use in various James Bond films. The "S" in PPK/S stands for "Sport," a version that merges the PP's frame size and the PPK's barrel length. This model was introduced in 1968 in response to the U.S. Gun Control Act of 1968 which prohibited importation of pistols not meeting certain "sporting" features. The blued finish of the gun is a method of chemically treating steel to create a thin protective shell against rust.
The .380 ACP caliber, also known as the 9mm Short, is a popular choice for compact and subcompact handguns. The gun operates on a double action/single action (DA/SA) system, with the trigger both cocking and releasing the hammer. It has a capacity of 7+1, meaning it can hold seven rounds in the magazine, plus one in the chamber.
