I own both a S&W PPK (stainless) and an older Interarms PPK. Both have always performed flawlessly. It is true that the trigger on the Interarms is stiff but the S&W is really clean and sweet.

I take the S&W PPK to the range regularly and shoot everything from "wad cutters" to Hornady Critical Defense ammo. Never has it failed to function. After several hundred, maybe a thousand, rounds it is a very smooth and solid shooter and is my daily carry weapon of choice. Honestly, I know of no other carry weapon I would trade it for.
