A local pawn shop has a 9mm PPS M1 (with paddles) in OD green. Is the green PPS considered rare or especially desirable, beyond folks who just like green? A bit of searching didn't really turn up much information about how many were available. Not sure I'm interested in buying it, I'm just curious.

is it actual green plastic, or a painted on coating ?
look in the mag well.

If it's factory its green plastic. I own one and it is not painted. Love that little gun.

Factory-coloured PPS's are not common. That saidm they aren't considered especially desirable. Some folks will pay a little more for them just because of the colour, of course, but that's about the size of it in terms of value -- meaning sellers can ask a little more and likely get it as long as it's a reasonable amount and the buyer is interested in paying it.


As for numbers produced, many in this community would love to have that insight just for their own edification. I don't know that anyone here has that data.


By the way, here's a 4 year old post on the same topic.

Actually, I provided it primarily for the purpose of showing that the coloured PPS's are worth slightly more to some buyers. (Specifically post #10 by Thunderbirdsport302 … which is why my link should take you to his post.)

And yea, wall-of-text-guy's post was, umm, TLDR. (That's the nicest thing I can think to say about it!)
