    Default Walther PK380?

    What is people's opinions on them?
    I'm thinking about possible small IWB carry, and while its not as small as other pocket .380, I still think its small enough for IWB.

    But they do feel little on "cheap" side, and I really don't know anyone who have/had them.

    I was looking at one today because my wife likes them. I wasn't a fan. First, because it's a 380 and costs too much to shoot for what it is. Second, I didn't like the mag release switch on the bottom of the trigger guard. Third, I didn't like the decocker or the slide release buttons................because they don't exist. Just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth.

    I got one for my wife she hated it, so now it sits in the gun room.
    The handle size is nice because it allows full grip.
    The finish and parts are poor quality.
    Extra magazines are expensive.
    The gun kicks a lot, feels even more than a 9mm.
    The safety is a rotating block and I don't like the mechanism.
    Trigger is rough.
    Accuracy was also an issue over 10yds for me.
    Takedown was goofy with that tool, always forgot which way to turn it.
    Mag release wasn't as bad as I thought.

    I love the styling and profile of the gun but hated actually shooting it. IMO same size gun in 9mm is better. Hope this helps

    Ya that's basically what I was being told at the gun shop(which I thought they were saying it, because they are over stocked with P238...), but seems like there are more Con than Pro. Bursa Thunder seems better deal then PK's

    I'll pass.
    Thanks
