The Model PD is a compact, single-action-only .45 ACP designed around a locked-breech Browning swinging-link system with a shortened muzzle bushing. Its steel slide and aluminum-alloy frame deliver a light carry profile while retaining a robust operating design. Capacity is 6+1, and the butt is marked with the PD stamp.
The pistol employs a replaceable polyurethane recoil buffer pad that fits over the recoil spring guide rod, riding ahead of the guide-rod flange. It omits a 1911-type grip safety and uses a left-side manual thumb safety. The solid curved trigger and spur hammer provide a straightforward, traditional control layout.
Targeting features include a low-profile adjustable square-notch rear sight paired with a fixed ramped front sight that has an integral orange insert for quick reference. Rear-only diagonal cocking serrations on the slide aid manipulation.
Finish details include a two-tone blue/gray scheme: a matte gray/blue slide over a dark blue, anodized-looking alloy frame. Checkered black synthetic grips with Star medallions complete the package. The right side carries the INTERARMS ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA import mark, and the pistol was made in Spain.
