A good friend of mine calls the ppk in 380 an "expert's gun." It is hard to shoot well due to stiff recoil, a heavy trigger and a tendency to score the hand if not held correctly. On top of that, the caliber is marginal and the sights are vestigal. And that's the German version. The S&W product adds a whole dimension of quality control issues.

I have shot them in 380 and 32. The 32 is a lot better to plink with, but is even less of a carry gun than the 380. Given the better choices available these days (the new Sig 338 comes to mind if one has to consider a 380), it is best left to James Bond wannabes and collectors.
