    Umarex PPC

    In the umarex range what does the PPC stand for, and does the 1500 mean only 1500 made, as i have been told.
    And does this actually count for anything.

    The reason i ask is, i have a PPC Beretta which is starting to look worn.
    And a PPC smith 6" i only bought a couple of days ago, which was an ex display so has a few marks on it ( it was the only smith in the shop and the dealer asked was i sure i wanted it as it was marked. I answered it was fine as i was planning to use it not look at it).

    But now i am thinking about buying both again in PPC just to squirrel away as i am starting to get a bit of a collection.

    Regards chip.

    "Police Pistol Combat" maybe?

    But I'm just guessing: I don't know.

    i think it is something along the lines of 'practical pistol competition'
