I had a .22 PP back in my youth so I've been familiar with the platform since forever. I've owned a PPK/s and a THP.

Cool? Ok, that I'll give you, but they're not at all pleasant to shoot. Atrocious triggers, heavy as a brick for their caliber, frustratingly poor function, mediocre accuracy, and they cut me more often than a Mexican flyweight!

I'm not a big .380 fan but I have a Starfire that shoots rings around the PPK (and that's pretty shocking!).

How good are they?

My cousin's for real Walther PPK is in my safe right now, he left it here about 10 years ago and hasn't once asked for it back, or bothered to take it home when I've mentioned it to him.

I'm pretty sure neither of us would neglect a well worn 1980s vintage model 10 heavy barrel like that.

Suddenly I have a fantasy of trading it to some unsuspecting Bond fan for a 3 inch 66. Now that would change my opinion of the PPK!
