Greetings, folks.
I'm rather (okay, very) new here, and I'd like to get an opinion.
I'm looking to get a few handguns down the line, but want to start with something that can do double duty as a general purpose handgun and an occasional concealed carry piece. I'm thinking about finally breaking down and getting the Walther PPK/S in .380 to serve the "swing duty" until I decide on a definite power handgun (thinking Sig 229, Walther PPQ, something along those lines) and the conceal piece (Bodyguard 380, Ruger LCP, Sig P290, etc.), I'm thinking PPK/S.
It has a narrow, comfy profile, a grip I feel at home with, reasonable oomph, and an all-around good compromise for size and function. (Oh.... and, yes, there is that old James Bond sex appeal. Who am I kidding? )
I once had a chance to mess around with an American InterArm "PPK clone" and I liked the feel, but I would rather get the real thing.
Does anyone have experience with the PPK or PPK/S, and can offer me the benefit of it? I'd be grateful for any advice and opinions regardless. (And I'm also perfectly open to alternate suggestions for a double-duty carry piece.)
Thanks!
Tony
