The PS-01 was developed by Colonel Rihahanto, who developed the pistol from August to September 2007.

Working models were first shown at the 2008 Indo Defence Expo & Forum, which was held from November 19-22, 2008.
After field tests were conducted, the Indonesian military dropped the PS-01 from consideration since it did not have full auto capabilities.
