Because then people would buy a polystriker instead. The PPK is interesting in it's original caliber only for all the usual reasons. I myself have a Ranger model in 380, works good. I like it for what it is, but I don't carry it.
What does this mean?

SAFETY/ DECOCKER
With the Ambidextrous Slide-Mounted Safety, you have the freedom to confidently engage or disengage the safety mechanism using either hand.
They also show the PPK models in 32 having 7 rounds or 6 rounds depending on...
As a related side-trip I had occasion to enter a courtroom and forgot I had a small spyderco (manbug) and a set of keys. I gave the knife to the nice security officer who stored it for me in a desk drawer. She questioned my "other knife" which was one of these. I had to open it and explain...
I have many of those Duluth t-shirts and they are a nice offering that work well for OWB cover. These definitely work and are good quality, though I'm told I look not as nice as I should :p
For spring and summer I've recently taken a liking to "Amazon Essentials Men's Regular-Fit Cotton Pique...
Not to go too off topic - but you are spot on. The firearm manufacturers like ALL big businesses are looking at shareholder returns. They don't give a hoot about quality in the product as you or I might want it - they care about making money, and more of it every quarter, and a rising share...
That's the thing. The chances of needing a handgun at all are also small, and we all hope it works out to never, yet we still carry. The consequences of being wrong are too great when compared to the small inconveniences involved. We all have made similar calculations whether we say so or...
Is it new in box with -3 magazines? Those mags should be very reliable. Mine likes speer gold dots. One other thing to mention - (no experience with the Sig ammo line) the 42 has a very strong RSA. It will generally want full power ammo.
Private sales of firearms - meaning person to person by two persons residing in the same state fall under state law (setting aside federal disqualifications). Federal gov't (ATF, etc) would not have authority to regulate intrastate firearms sales that is otherwise lawful. Just my non-lawyer...
Both, actually. The grip swells and has more of a beavertail. It makes the grip feel a bit larger in the hand which for me is good. The front and back straps are very aggressive (like sandpaper). The sides are grippy but not sharp which I am glad for against skin.
That said the stock XL...
On a similar quest I bought a P365XL 3 years ago almost to the day. It was a pretty new offering (2019) and addressed the vague issues I had with the base P365 model when it came out (grip so tiny, unproven, etc). I'm still carrying it today, and have expanded my P365 lineup to include a...
I have a "public defender poly" which has the shortest barrel in the lineup, I think. Been using Winchester high brass Super-X 2 1/2 1/2 ounce 7 1/2 shot "upland and small game" for the occasional copperhead that gets into the outside living areas where people and dogs go. Works good. I have...
Your use of these for carry is quite an endorsement. I look forward to testing of mine (4) when I have time.
Current EDC P365XL with WC grip module, sometimes a 442 in pocket. If I am going lazy LCP MAX for thin and light.
In my most recent purchase I seem to have skipped right over gen 2 from gen1 to gen 3. Hard to believe my original gen 1 is 15 years old.
@halfmoonclip I am going to say lightweight (the "L" in LCP) and small size are what makes the LCP the LCP. It's an inexpensive, reliable little pocket 380...
When I lived in NJ where purchase permits are issued for every handgun via an application, people would list the number of permits they wanted and would receive them after the equivalent of a full criminal background check done by the state (similar to carry license in other states). Not only...
First time I flew out of Newark (EWR) the ticket counter lady had me open my locked pistol case with four pistols inside - at the ticket counter in Newark, NJ. I mean there were tons of people on line behind, and in the lines beside. I said, now, here? She affirmed and so I turned the case to...
Hard question which of course only you can answer. But my opinion is get some top tier manufactured ammo - not a boutique or small outfit, and test it using that. Something in the defensive/LE lines from Speer, Winchester, Federal, Hornady. Ammo that law enforcement uses.
And don't forget...
