My poor red blooded soul could not rest until I had a PPK or PPK/S. I guess I had seen too many James Bond movies.

My first one was the copy made in France. It was OK but the trigger was horrible and the slide cut the web of my hand a couple of times.

Later, I got the lucre together to buy a 'genuine' Walther. It was not reliable and very in-accurate. It was very cool of course. I had to wear a tux on weekends. I got a shoulder holster to wear the gun in. It was very "Bondesque", wearing a tux and carrying a PPK in a shoulder holster, but I replaced it with a gun that I had more conficence in, a J-frame Smith.

Later, a couple of decades, I tried out a Stainless Smith. There was no improvement.

This covers my almost 40 years experience with Walthers.

These days I have a P3-AT and a Bursa Thunder. I would recommend either of them. Not much sex appeal in either, but they just keep on ticking without fail or bobble.
