I quit carrying my .380 when ammo got ridiculously expensive. I won’t carry a gun I can’t afford to practice with.
Wow, with this, Ruger’s LCP and Sig’s new one (the 238?) – the .380 is this season’s must have caliber.
I’d like to see a comparison test between all these noobies and the old Walther PPK or Bersa Thunder.
Though I must admit, I do like the funky grip on the new Sig – but I’m probably the only one.
I bought my PK380 First Edition about a month ago. Sine that thime I’ve been able to run more than 200 rounds thought it. I can say that it it an absolute performer and flawless on the range. I had only one hangup and that was due to me. The design of the grip is a delight to hold. Walther did their home work in ergonomics and anatomical design. The other important thing is the slide. All steel like the barrel. The grips are poly and help to reduce the weight. It is well balanced and returns on target with little climb. At 40 yards I can place a magazine, 8 rounds, within the lines of the target. I figure at 10 feet or 10 yards, he’s mine. I sold my PPK/S because I hated it. For me, the ergonomic and anatomical grip design didn’t cut.
