Does anyone here know much about this defunct company, PPS or Personal Protection Systems, Ltd. once run by Aron P. Lipman? I think they were around from the late 80s through the early 90s and from Scranton, PA. The stuff I have seems to be dated 1986 or 1987.

Anyway, I came into a lot of this ammo and was looking for any information about it that I can find. I've read it's kind of a hot load. It also cost $15 per box of 5 cartridges! Pricey stuff! I received a lot of it, and I mean a lot (haven't actually counted it up yet), in these calibers:

45ACP (pictured below)
9mm
38 Special
380ACP
32ACP
25ACP

Sorry the picture is sideways. Any information would be helpful. Also, if anyone is interested in any of the calibers listed above for collector cartridges purposes let me know. Thanks!

yeah, Aaron got cross threaded with ATF with a unregistered Title II firearm few years back. Ended up with time in the Fed Pen. Bit of a Wanker really. Been over thirty years since I had any dealings with him. Have no idea reference value for you. Shoot it and be done with it.
