About two months ago I started thinking of purchasing a firearm for concealed carry. I combed through the internet looking at reviews and videos of people's opinions. My budget was between $300-$400, so I obviously wasn't going to be purchasing a higher end handgun such as the FNP-40.
Something about the Walther PK380 just kept catching my eye. I read so many different reviews about this gun. Some people said it was amazingly reliable, and that they never had FTFs or FTEs. Others said the exact opposite. I eventually went to check one out at a local dealer. This gun actually felt pretty solid in my hands, unlike all of those tiny little .380 acp handguns that women carry in their purses. It's large enough to fit all my fingers on the grip (with the magazine that has the pinky finger extension), not to mention the grip is way more comfortable than say the Taurus PT Millennium handguns. The PK380 has a substantial weight with a loaded mag, and feels more like a 9mm or even a .40.
After purchasing the PK380, I immediately had to take it to the range So I threw 100 rounds of PMC .380 acp FMJ's in my backpack, and headed to the range. After about 20 rounds or so, I had this gun pretty much figured out. I was hitting 3-4 inch groups from about 10 yards no problem. It's accurate, and doesn't have much kick..even when rapid firing. I continued going to the range about once a week for a month, which brings us to the present date. Since then, I have completely polished my barrel and the inner slide, and it has never felt smoother. After putting about 350-400 rounds through the PK380, I could literally feel it breaking in and getting more accurate. I put a Laserlyte V3 on the picatinny rail just last week, and took it to the range yesterday. I was hitting 2 inch groups from 10 yards like it was my job.
I've put a total of about 500 rounds through this gun, and have had 2 FTE's, and 1 FTF. All three occurred prior to me polishing the firearm, and that was when I had only put about 200 rounds through it. I honestly love this gun, and I take it everywhere I go. Take-down is extremely easy, but requires a tool. I order 2 extra tools, I have one in my car and the other in my holster. Im 6 feet tall and weigh about 175lbs, so I'm pretty thin, but I have no problem concealing this gun. The people who have constant FTE's and FTF's, probably need to work on their shooing form, AND CLEAN YOUR GUN AFTER YOU SHOOT IT....cause the gun isnt the problem!!!
