However, even though it was launched for use by the police it was later on used in the services of the Luftwaffe and Heer. Though it was popular with these two military services’ personnel the army officers prefer to carry the pistol. Its impressive history has led to the creation of many Australian PPK pistol replicas and the sales are amazing over the years.
