Any opinions on the Walther PK380? Have any of you shot it. It's a little bit bigger but a lot cheaper than the ppk/s 380. It's polymer and I guess that's why.
It would be great to hear from folks who have shot many 380's. The size on the pk380 seemed like a pretty good compromise between to small like many 380's and still something my wife can shoot and she or I could carry it.

PK380's have been one of our most popular sellers to women. A big factor is that the slide is very easy for them pull back. It also feels like a big gun vs a little one like a lot of the other models.
They shoot pretty well too.

I own one. Bought it for my girlfriend to shoot. It shoots great. Fits great in her hands too. Another girl friend of mine has one too. It's her CC weapon. For the price, i'm not sure there is another pistol out there that is a better value.

Sorry to hijack your post, but i was at the Garland Public Range one day and they called a seize fire. One guy shooting a pistol couldnt take out his magazine, I yelled "what kind of gun is it", he says "Walther", I then proceed to tell him its in the trigger guard right in front of the grip. He said "oh" and dropped the mag. As I was leaving the range officer says "man Im glad you were here we would have neve figured that out."

The controls are not intuitive.

I will be "that guy."
I don't like Walther products in general and the pk380 is no exception. I defintely see why girl do like it, but it's just not for me. I highly dislike the 380 caliber in general too. I've seen all sorts of Walthers having ftf issues. The only Walther I do like is their p22.
To me, there are just better options at that price and caliber.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

LOL, the problem at the range wasn't the Walther. It was the idiot who went to the range with a gun he had no idea how to use.
