**Rare Sterling Arms Corp Model PPL .380 Pistol

.380 ACP. 1.5" barrel. SN: 001835. Blued finish, checkered mottled brown plastic SA logo grips. Single action, blowback semi-automatic pistol with removable magazine, fixed notch rear sight, serrated ramp front sight, cross bolt safety, short spur external hammer and heel magazine release. These unconventional looking semi-automatic pistols have the appearance of a "chopped and channeled" High Standard pistol crossed with a Sci-Fi ray gun. The pistols were not particularly successful and were only made in relatively small quantities circa 1970-1972. These strange little pistols are rarely seen on the market for sale. Includes a single magazine. {C&R}
