Finally took my wife’s Walther to the range

Wife picked up a PDP compact not too long ago for CCW, finally had a chance to hit the range.

200 rounds. Fun little gun, no hiccups with function. Definitely more accurate than I am lol.

How did she like it? Seems like a favorite with women from the reviews I've seen.

She likes it, it’s a bit snappy but I think that’s more of a breaking in/practice issue. Worst case some after market options exist. Definitely will serve well for its intended role once she gets the range time. Need to find some cheap reliable ammo lol.

If anyone is looking for a CCW it should be considered.

I used to have a Walter PPKS. The ammunition available at the time was underpowered and did not reliably cycle the action. Something like a +P .32ACP...something not available here...would have been been required. I sold it. It was a nice pistol bellygun. I should have kept it and simply rolled my own, for it.

Have you seen the prices on it now? I got a PPK/s .380 with only two rounds fired for $200 years ago, cool little thing, accurate as hell, my daughter loves it.

The guns I have sold over the last forty years...the Corvettes, the muscle cars...

If only I still had them.

I don't sell guns, but you were in the business. I've kept every one I ever bought, just like tools, never loan them, never sell them for you may have a need for one of them some day. I've given a couple away as needed, my older son has one of my .38 S&W, my BIL that shitty 9mm Diamond Back and I gave away an old Brazilian .38 my mother used to have to an older neighbor who lives alone, same guy who gave me a very expensive camera tripod. I have kept everything I ever bought since I was old enough to buy a gun and that was a long time ago.....NO, I lost a High Standard .22 and a H&R 20 gauge, thanks to my drunk father who probably pawned them or gave them away while drunk.

I traded away my first Super Blackhawk for some SCUBA equipment. The guy I swapped it to was having people trying to break into his apartment, and asked to borrow it. I didn't want to loan it out, so told him I'd trade him for something. Always regretted the trade, mainly because the SCUBA gear was outdated for the time and the only thing I was able to use was the mask, fins, and snorkel. I eventually replaced the pistol with an identical one.

Lost a very nice early model Colt Cobra alloy frame .38 and an unissued Yugo M24 Mauser in the divorce. Guess I could have done worse.

Anything else I've given away to the kids.
