Sterling Arms ~ Model PPL ~ .380 ACP

Inspired by the Walther PPK design, the PPL is a compact, double-action semi-automatic pistol intended for civilian self-defense and police backup use. While production numbers were modest and the pistols were only made for a short time before Sterling ceased operations, they are well-built for their class and represent an interesting American take on a classic European design. Today, PPL pistols are collected both as curiosities of the American firearms industry and as affordable vintage .380 pocket pistols. This one is in excellent condition overall.
