Have carried a PPK/S for a long time and will continue to do so. I take it to the range about every two months and have never, I repeat, never had a FTF with it. On the range, I shoot whatever ammo I have handy but my EDC ammo is Buffalo Bore. First round (in the chamber) and the top round in the clip are 90 gr JHP. The remaining rounds in the clip are 100 gr Hardcast.

Yes, the first round fired DA is a difficult trigger pull. However, all subsequent rounds are SA and extremely smooth.

Yes, the PPK/S is a bit heavy for a .380 but I'm so used to it I don't even notice. My body being on the "large" side I really like how slim the Walther is and I find it very comfortable to carry either IWB or OWB.

All that said, I do love my S&W revolvers.
