Help on .380

[aaronrkelly]

Ive had both the Smith and Wesson import Walther PPK and the Sig P232.

Im sure it was a fluke but my PPK was a turd. Constant jamming, failure to fire then finally around 25 rounds the gun broke and that was it. I wont comment on reliability since I really believe mine was a fluke. I though the gun was heavy......and the sight sucked.

My Sig P232 was everything the PPK wasnt. Light, handy and the sight were far better. It also wasnt a turd....downside, heel magazine release but I got past that fairly quick. I really liked that little gun.....one of the few I wished I hadnt traded.

I've got the Walther (S&W) PPK and it's awesome. It feeds any handload I put thru it with the utmost of reliability and accuracy. The first 50-75 rounds were touch and go, but that's a break-in period. I've fired over 400 more rounds out of it and it's great. Trigger pull is a bit heavy, but is smoothing out.
Recoil? What recoil. I can't see how anyone can complain about the kick of a 380. Maybe it's just me. I can keep that sucker right in there during rapid fire a bit better than either of my 45's and they recoil more than a 380! It's a nice summer gun.
