thats the correct interpertation The 380 is a 9mm krutz (short) and of course the /S is because of our gun control act of 1968[b said:Quote[/b] (banddr2 @ Feb. 16 2006,20:49)]According to Dieter Marschall on the P38forum it is "kriminal" which is german for detective, which is what the pistol was originally designed for. Which makes sense, since the modell PP was designed for police use.
