    Default Which .380 should I keep? Advice needed.

    I'd appreciate some advice from forum members. Due to circumstances, I MUST sell one of the following two guns: My blued Walther PPK/S (by S&W), or my Makarov PM (Russian commercial version). Both are reliable, I shoot both equally well, both are .380 auto. Which should I keep, which should I let go? Reasons?

    The main use for the gun I keep will be a concealment gun when a larger gun isn't practical, or a BUG to be carried in a pocket holster. I'm pretty torn between the two, but I only need one .380, and I need to thin the herd a little to make room for future additions to the collection.

    Same number of mags for each: 2 mags for the PPK/S, two mags for the Mak.

    Walther, without a doubt. It's a classic.

    The Makarov is one step above a hammer.

    Since this is PAFOA, keep the Glock.

    The Makarov is so much better than the Walther that this is a joke. Is yours a Satin Nickel Mak, B-West import? If so, I have one just like it. I also have a Walther PP my Day brought back from WWII. It sucks.

    Lots of opinions here. Thanks, this is what I wanted.

    Walther PPK has that cool aspect, it is a legend, and the finish and aesthetics are second to none. But from a functional aspect, the Makarov is just so damned reliable and durable. I know it will always go bang, even after it's run over by a jeep. The Walther will jam if it's not kept clean.
