Range Report: Walther PPK/S

[druryj]

Alrighty then; got to the range today and shot my new to me Walther (Interarms) PPK/S in .380ACP. She runs flawlessly. I put about 100 rounds through it, mostly Fiocchi 95 Gr FMJ, but including a few various JHP rounds. She fed and fired those JHP rounds just fine. For some reason, I just really like these pistols. Yeah, I know, big and heavy for a .380, limited capacity (7+1) etc. But so what? I don't suffer the slide bite so many others seem to get and the gun just points naturally for me. I got this one from @carready, it's in pristine condition too, and he still has one left, my pistol's identical twin. It was a hoot to shoot! I like the weight, I like the look, I like the way she shoots, I likes me some PPK/S pistolas!

I don't often agree with you know who. Most of the time, he's off his meds. This time, he's spot on. I am not a fan of the PPK/S platform, but she is a beauty and ate everything we shoved down her gullet.

The PPK/S is one of those pistols that always intrigued me, but for practical purposes, I never really looked into owning one. I've picked them up before (damn heavy!) but never fired one. I figure with all that heft, the .380 cartridge should recoil about like a .22LR.

Maybe someday I can afford a PPK/S along with a Browning Hi Power. That's another pistol that always sparked my interest.

So Joel,
Is this the same one you wanted the holster for or is this another?

One of my favorite pistols. I have owned three or four of them, loved them except for that little pile of fat on my hand between thumb and finger. After the first mag, I have two very precise slits shedding a bit of blood. I'll put up with that for a few months, and then traded each one off, only to buy the next one a few months later. Maybe a diet would help...

I’ve got one I’ve owned for years and never fired. I need to remedy that! Joel and jimmy, I’m surprised they let you guys out, especially to go play with firearms!

We escaped for little while. Then the guys in white coats found us and ...

Actually, they have more recoil than many think, despite being an all steel pistol, because they are a blow-back design.

This is a new one, new to me anyway.
