For what its worth, I recently had the oppurtunity to fire a friends Walther PPK imported by Interarms.
+1 to any of these and add the smith and wesson body guard.Ruger LCP
KelTec p3At
Taurus TCP
Kahr
Any of those should do the trick. Lightweight and easy to carry anywhere.
Are they relaible? I mean 30 rounds is very potent firepower in a handgun but not gonna be worth anything if the gun doesnt work. I'm not sure if I like the idea of the duel designs of blowback and recoil operation of the gun.Its not a. 380 and not the smallest but the Kel Tec PMR30 holds 30(three zero) .22 mag
nums and weighs shy over a pound fully loaded! This is by far the lightest and most if attacked by a posse of squirrels the high capacity of the pmr30 would be benefinicial. interesting gun I have had the honor of shooting. Pair this with the awesome Hornady 45 grain Critical Defense HP rounds, thirty of them no less, and just over a pound! Now if only I could find one for sale somewhere, everyplace seems to always sold out. If i was jogging or running I would want something like this.
Not dismissing the p3at, just never shot one let alone held one. If attacked by a posse of squirrels while jogging the pmr30's high capacity would be beneficial.
I wish my PPK/S was as reliable as my Bersas. I have a stainless PPK/S that just does not work well. I've tried everything I know to try and it still runs like crap after well over 500 rounds. I thought it was good for a while, but it does not hold a candle to my Bersas. You would think that for almost twice the money, Walther would be able to produce a decent gun. There is a reason that the Bersa comes with a lifetime warranty and the Walther only a year.
Sorry for the rant, but my PPK is a gun a really want to love but it fights me.
