Smith & Wesson Walther PPK/S-1 .380 ACP Stainless Compact, DA/SA, 3.3 in Barrel, 2 Mags
This Smith & Wesson–manufactured Walther PPK/S-1 is a compact, all-steel .380 ACP with a stainless finish, built in Houlton, Maine under license from Carl Walther. It features the S&W-era extended beavertail to reduce slide or hammer bite, a fixed-barrel straight-blowback system, and a DA/SA trigger with a slide-mounted safety/decocker. It comes with two factory 7-round magazines, including one finger-rest baseplate.
Markings include "SMITH & WESSON HOULTON, ME USA" on the slide and "PPK/S-1" on the frame.

Produced by Smith & Wesson in Houlton, Maine, this PPK/S-1 reflects the licensed U.S. production of a classic Walther design. The frame is marked "PPK/S-1," and the slide carries the "SMITH & WESSON HOULTON, ME USA" rollmark, underscoring its U.S. manufacture.
The pistol uses a fixed-barrel, straight-blowback operating system in .380 ACP and a DA/SA trigger. Controls include a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a button-style magazine release. A loaded-chamber indicator pin is located at the rear of the slide for quick visual and tactile confirmation.
All-steel construction with a stainless finish provides durability and a consistent look across the slide and frame. The S&W-era extended beavertail/tang aids comfort and control. The slide features vertical rear serrations and an anti-glare rib. Fixed sights include a front blade and rear notch, both with red inlays for visibility.
Compact dimensions include a 3.3-inch barrel and approximately 6.1 inches in overall length, with a standard 7+1 capacity in the PPK/S pattern. This example includes two factory magazines: one with a finger-rest baseplate and one with a flat baseplate. Note: S&W-made PPK/PPK/S pistols were subject to a 2009 factory safety recall; this pistol’s serial pattern falls within the listed recall range.
