I have an Interarms SS - PPK-S that I bought new in 1999. I would agree with all the above postings regarding the gun, and you have a good review of the guns merits, and problems with all the postings.

I used mine as my carry gun when I was still working, and did not want it to show at all. It just disappeared in the front pocket of a pair of Dockers. I never found it to be too heavy, because I like steel guns, but the plastic 380s that are being made today are a lot lighter.

With that said: everyone needs a PPK or PPK-S in their collection. It is a classic gun.

Best Wishes,
Tom
