Fun fact: The guy wearing that gun was Tom Savini, of George Romero zombie fame. |

I have owned five or six PPK (and PPK/S) models in .380. German made and American made. Mine have always been reliable. The piece was originally designed as a .32 though, and thus not originally built for .380 ACP. - German made PPKs were superb quality. - American made PPKs made by Interarms were usually very good, but pieces made in the last year of production before Interarms went under were "sometimes" of poor quality. - Smith and Wesson made PPKs are a coin toss. Some are good, and some are pieces of shit. Anyone in this thread who is making blanket statements and lumping German made PPKs in with Smith and Wesson ones, does not know what they are talking about, period.

The Jackal carried by Alucard in Helsing. Solid silver handgun firing 13mm rounds, weighs 16 kilograms. An M240 only weighs 11.6Kg As they said on cracked.com, it and the slightly smaller 454 Casull auto he carries are so big you would need parachute pants to concealed carry them and were apparently engraved at an American mall kiosk. |

James Bond's Walther PPK is the silliest gun ever used by a fictional character. Fine, they want a .380 so it won't print through his tuxedo, but you'd expect MI 6 to give him a pistol that worked, like a Colt or a Beretta. My dad has a PPK, and AFAIK he's never had a malfunction with it. Congratulations. You and 110 conclusively proved that the other hundred or so people I met didn't know what they were talking about when they sold their Walthers at a significant loss because they said the things were jam-o-matic, slice-o-matic piles of garbage.

My Walther PPK/S in .380 worked fine. lol I bow to your superior anecdotal experience. older PPKs were designed for FMJ ammo. hollowpoints could have been the problem. |

The aluminum would have vaporized well before reaching anywhere near that speed. You would basically be shooting a jet of plasma. and even more likely, spewing x-rays all over the place too. |

I bow to your superior anecdotal experience. Eighteen years vs. two pieces. LOL. Out of curiosity, how many of those 100 were German made guns? I don't recall. I don't think it made that much difference. I remember that people also sold the German ones and complained about reliability, although the not Interarms guns were worth more. They were a crap shoot.
