How does it feel? Not that you could really shoot it or anything... (no ammo)
They had it at the shot show, It felt like a p22 maybe a little heavier.
I noticed that as well. The pk380 is expected to be cheaper than a PPS, but you would end up losing money in the long run with the higher price for .380 compared to 9mm.Thicker than a 9 mm Luger Walther PPS, and the ammo is only cca. 60% as powerful.
However. this gun is where I can't find reason to make. Thicker than a 9 mm Luger Walther PPS, and the ammo is only cca. 60% as powerful.
And, if you read the review in G&A Handguns, there were some troubling aspects of the gun including a major malfunction due to a recoil spring problem. The reviewer tried to play it in a sort of postive light, but having a gun that needs a key to field strip is troubling to me. It seems their lock mechanism precludes field stripping the gun unless it is engaged, and that requires a tool. This gun tempted me only as someone who owns and shoots several Walthers, but I think that one disqualifies the gun from ownership for me. Add to that the hokey screw holding on the safety and I'll probably be passing on this one.
I will simply let my wife get used to it and run about 100 through to make sure there aren't any malfunctions.
Storm... I see where you are coming from.
I'm sure it depends on the gun as far as .380 goes. My Sig P232 fires almost perfect each and every time. I have owned some in the past that are 'snappy' but I've also had some 9mm that have done it.
racking a slide can be an issue for some women shooters, and I would look at this aspect as well if appropriate
