I had a 1979 and 1982 German (or Manhurin) made PP and PPK/S. These are fun Bond collectibles but by no means a modern EDC like the P365XL that I like.

Like other have said: These German collectors shot well w/o FTF using win 380 target white box. But the PPK/S gave significant bite not from the hammer but the very sharp rear frame corners, I mean bad. The PPK/S slide is difficult to rack and if you dont carry with round in the chamber, racking it quickly is not an option. The sights are puny on them all and not usable. If you have Blaufeldt standing 5 yards in front of you maybe that is useful but in a real home invasion, forgot it, get Sig X-ray sights. The PP shoots way better, easier to handle/rack, less bit, also still quite small but impossible to find anymore. The PP was used in Dr. No, not PPK. Anyway, movie memorabilia but NOT a useful gun in the 21st century. Bond...you are a relic...talk about yourself Mallory...whatever.
