I bought my stainless steel Interarms Walther PPK .380 new in 1988 and carried it off duty and as a backup for 20 years. It served me flawlessly. I carried Winchester Silvertips that never had a problem. If I was carrying it still today, I would try the new Hornady Critical Defense rounds in it.

I retired my PPK when I bought a Ruger LCP for daily carry. I treated my PPK to a little sprucing up as a reward for its 20 years of service. I sent it to Michael Gouse for 75% coverage American Scroll:



The sights are excellent, the trigger pull DA is smooth and the SA is light on mine. Ergonomically with my big hands, the PPK has always felt perfect. I just hold the gun so that the web of my right hand isn't too high on the grip so that I avoid the railroad track cuts from the slide coming back. I've been cut a few times, so I've learned to avoid it. Not that the cuts are all that bad, I viewed them as service scars!
