Back when I was with the CSP, all the "cool troopers" carried PPK's as second guns, as they were dept. approved. I did for a while as well, in a boot holster, usually. Carried well, but it was never 100% reliable, even with HB, the most common loading back then. I have big hands, and didn't care for the fact I had to wear a glove during practice to avoid slide bite.
Eventually switched to a model 36 with the hammer bobbed, using the old FBI load. Figured it hit a little harder, and never failed to go bang when I pulled the trigger.
