Walther PPK/S Stainless .380 ACP Compact DA/SA Pistol – U.S.-Made Interarms Ranger Production
This stainless-steel Walther PPK/S delivers the classic German design in a U.S.-made package, produced by Ranger Manufacturing for Interarms between 1978 and 1999. The pistol features the first factory stainless finish offered on the PPK/S, an extended integral beavertail unique to American production, and bright fixed orange “dot-the-i” sights. Chambered in .380 ACP with a 3.3-inch barrel and 7+1 capacity, it combines the iconic PPK profile with corrosion-resistant construction and familiar DA/SA controls.

What’s Included
- Walther PPK/S stainless .380 ACP pistol
- 2 factory Walther 7-round stainless steel magazines – one with finger-rest floorplate, one with flush floorplate
Built on a solid stainless-steel frame with matching slide, this PPK/S resists corrosion and provides added weight for manageable recoil in a compact size. The brushed-matte finish preserves the pistol’s clean lines while reducing glare.
The DA/SA blowback action offers a smooth double-action first shot followed by a short, crisp single-action pull. A slide-mounted safety/decocker allows safe hammer lowering and positive on-safe indication.
U.S. Ranger production added an integral beavertail to protect the shooter’s hand from slide bite—an upgrade not found on earlier German-made models. Vertical rear serrations aid slide manipulation even with slick stainless surfaces.
Fixed ramp front and square-notch rear sights carry orange dots for quick alignment. A ring hammer, push-button magazine release, and checkered black plastic grips complete the familiar Walther ergonomics.
