I like hearing your praise of the PPK.
I just bought a Bersa Thunder 380CC - which is a near clone of the PPK. I haven't shot it yet, but the PPK-ish design, weight, and dimensions appealed to me. In another thread there has been a lot of good said about the little Bersas so I'm thinking it will become a regular part of my CCW stable - for all the reasons you cited.
