I bought a Walther PP

[firestar]

Well I have no need for one but the price seems reasonable now. I got a Walther PP in .32acp. It is one of the German Police guns that everybody is selling. I figuired if I want one, now is the time to buy before they go up in price again.

I allways thought the PP was much better looking than the PP/K. Also being a .32, I don't have to buy a new type of ammo (.380) since I already have a Kel-Tec P-32. I don't have a .380 but I think I will once the new Kel-Tec comes out.

Hello. I have had one for several years as the result of a friend selling it as he needed the money. On the one I have, it's a pleasure to shoot and has proven reliable with ball and some JHPs. Not the most powerful thing in the world, but kind of a neat little gun. I suspect that it's due to the much lighter recoil, but I don't seem to get "slide bite" with this one to the same degree as the .380 PP.

Best.

My dad has one. Very nice. Something you should be careful about (you may already know this) is to let the hammer down using you thumb when you put the gun on safe. Many of these old fellas can't take the pounding from that hammer snapping down into the safety. The safety will break and there is a possibility of a discharge when it does. My dad broke his PP like this and had to get it repaired. Also, a friend accidentally shot his brother when this happened with a round in the chamber. Yeah, he was violating safety rules big time. The brother survived by the way. These are fun little guns, enjoy it. Quality was exceptional.

Congrats on your new PP. I use to have a WW-2 one it had all the Nazi markings on it wish I had kept it.

I got one. Ironically I went through all the same rationalizations you did. They are cool, I already had a Kel-Tec .32................
I enjoy shooting mine. A great buy .

No, I didn't know this at all! Thanks for the heads up. I will check this aspect out when I get it. I bought it online and I am waiting to recieve it.

I'll post a range report when I get it and I shoot it. I am not expecting target accuracy but I have hopes because every gun I have ever had in any .32 cal has been more accurate than I expected. We'll see.
