Walther Pk380

I saw one of these at Bills Sporting Goods for 400 dollars. Is that a good price? I don't really know much about them, does anyone have one or fire one?

Owned one years ago, it was okay...prefer my LCP.

cant have owned one, they are brand new. that is a bit of a markup since they should retail for less then $350

rumor has it tho that most if not all were recalled before they hit the shelves so to speak, for some sort of issue with it going bang without a reason.

i want one, just for the reason that its basically a beefed up P22, in a more sensible caliber for carry. a P22 may get the job done, but it will take a while and with well placed shots.

The previous generation I'm guessing was the PPS like this:




The PK380 is brand new to their line-up. I have handled one at a local Gander Mtn but I didn't do much more than that.

Sorry, thought he meant a PPK

I'm not really digging the missing slidelock

The PK380 is based completely off the Walther P22 design and layout.
The PK380 is new and just hit the U.S in late September / October. .To follow the popularity of the Walther P22 buyers that wanted a larger caliber, but not the $700.00 price tag of a Full featured Walther.

As for the rumored recall?? According to Walther Germany it was simply a production delay and no product had shipped to the U.S. until September. But who knows…..

I own the PPS and it is a compact 9mm that has done very well and still in current production; and has no relationship to the pk380 other than both being made by Walther.

i have a p22 and was lookin at getting a pk380 but i thought it would hold more then 8 rounds in a mag for a 380. i saved up the extra bucks and the wife donated some for our anniversary so i could get the p99c in 9mm. i carry it daily and love it

Does anyone out there have any experience shooting the PK380.
