Walther PK380

[cecil30-30]

Anybody have one? From what I've read on the net,they seem like pretty sweet little handguns..I have the Walther P99 and love the fit and feel of it,also shoots great..Its my main carry gun.I had a Walthe P22 and it was a blast to shoot and it fit good in the hand,I hear the PK380 is built off of the P22 frame,which should feel about the same way..Im thinking of getting the PK380 as a carry gun on those days I don't feel like carrying a full size pistol..I know the 380 isn't a go to personal defence round,but with the new hornady ammo it does seem to be adequate in its own range...whats yalls opinion? place in crossville is advertiseing them for $375 out the door.

I had one, and sold it after a short time of having it. Its all steel, so its a little heavy for its size. It also has a bad habit of biting the hand that feeds it, right in the web of your hand.

The PK380 is a polymer gun.You must mean the PPK.Aside from that, the PK380 is a cheap POS that was rushed off the assembly line and needs to be redesigned.It has many features lacking in a good carry gun and although it looks like the P22, that is all it does.I would not get one.I have a P22, and a PPK so I am not a Walther hater.This gun needs about 2 yrs worth of research and development yet.It is cheaply assembled w/very poor factory finish.

My fault, I was talking about the PPK, not the pk380. I have no experience with the newer gun.
