I had one of those SS made in America Walther 380 PPk jobbies...paid $310 for it....

thats why in the next hour my son and i are going shooting. once again slam a bunch of different flavors thru it and see what flavor it likes. already read a bunch of articles on these from various writers. thay are finicky eaters of ammo. federal was the "food" of choice that all articles liked. going now for a search of used stainless sig sauer p-232 in .380. why? cuz i can and what the hell its money in the bank and in the safe....

My next gun will be a Walther PPK/S... I'm going to the range to shoot my new (to me) Sig P226 in .40S&W and .357Sig right after lunch today...

I was under the impression that a wheel gun was preferred for CCW

I have a stainless Sig P232 .380. It's a purty little thing esp. with the Nill wood grips, but of course it is a bit heavy and large for its 'wimpy' caliber and it is not terribly pleasant to shoot. I think the term typically used is "snappy". However it has been accurate enough and extremely reliable thus far so I would trust it to do its job if ever called upon.
