i just bought the new walther pk380 but have not had time to shoot it yet. i love the p22 and the pk380 is almost exactly the same just .380. does anyone have one or know how good they are (or bad).

Well, You have one.....
Let us all know how you like it. I have a P22 that I have slowly learned to tolerate, because everyone in my family loves to shoot it.

Whie I have not shot one, I have read several reviews of the PK380 online. None have anything bad to say about the functioning of the gun. Apparently the recoil is very low. In the one "professional" review I read, the recoil was so light that the reviewer thought the pistol had misfired.

The complaints I have read fall in to the the following categories:

"I hate the PK380, even though I have never fired it, because it, like the P22, is not a real Walther."

"The P22 sucks, so the PK380 must also suck." or

"I don't like to have to use a tool to take down the gun."

I was also thinking about getting a PK 380. One, because I really like shooting my P22, which has performed flawlessly, with about 1200 rounds though it; and the PK380's battery of arms is exactly the same as the P22 making for cheap training. Also, I have had lots of wrist trouble lately and the low recoil may make shooting more comfortable.

Good luck with it.

thanks for the replies i will try to shoot tomorow and give feedback. .380 ammo is limited right now so my range time will be also.
