The PPK/S configuration mates a PP-length frame with a PPK slide and barrel, a format created to satisfy the 1968 GCA import points system. This example reflects that design in compact form with a 3.3 inch fixed barrel and a 7+1 capacity in .380 ACP.
Construction is all stainless steel, including frame, slide, and barrel, with brushed flats and a stainless finish that complements its classic profile. The slide features a longitudinal anti-glare rib, and the pistol retains the exposed ring-style hammer spur.
Controls and operation are traditional Walther DA/SA with a straight-blowback mechanism. Safety equipment includes a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a firing-pin safety. Sighting is straightforward with a ramped front blade and an integral rear notch.
Markings indicate U.S. manufacture under Walther license, with Interarms Alexandria, Virginia rollmarks and a chamber hood stamp noting production under Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do. The included factory test target is marked for .380 at 15 meters and dated 02/09/1998, aligning with the pistol’s 1998 manufacture year.
