Thank you for correcting the typo caused by my extreme dyslexia and/or lack of typing skills.
Actually 9 mm Kurz. Kurz is the German word for "short." Even though I sometimes carry a .380 ACP Sphinx, I think a 9 mm is a better choice. Today, there are so many choices of small 9 mm pistols.Oldgringo wrote:First of all, I think the caliber of the Walther is .380 acp. or 9mm shurz, .308 is a rifle cartridge.
I think you have the caliber wrong. It is .380, rather than .308. As far as I know ammo availability isn't an issue. I wouldn't recommend buying it, but not for the reason of scarce ammo. Others will give better first hand information about the Walther PPK. Reliability is more important than good looks. This applies to handguns too.Samurai Blur wrote:Hope I didn't get this in the wrong topic..
I have a cousin who works at Gander Mountain. Stopped in to see him today and asked about a good concealed carry weapon (my first handgun, by the way), and he pulled out a .308 Walther PPK. It felt really nice in my hand and was a pretty good looking gun altogether, however, I've heard that .308 ammo is scarce, and I don't like the idea of having to line up at 7AM the morning shipment comes in just to get a few boxes of ammo. Does anyone have a recommendation on whether or not it would be a good idea to buy this gun?
