Just found this article in my email this morning. I don't own one but I figure a few of the members might.

Damn. My girl just bought one. Thanks for the heads up

OK hers shouldnt be on the list but I'll have to check that next time at the range.

cool, figured even if it helped one person it was worth the post.

I love the way those recent compact Walthers shoot but the trigger guard mag release thing is a deal breaker for me.

 

Nobody makes the handgun I want

" This recall applies to Walther PK380, .380 ACP pistols manufactured by Carl Walther GmbH from May through September 2012, which have a serial number range from PK101201 to PK112155."

 

Hers starts with a 0. Should be OK.

What don't you like about it? I think it is pretty comfortable to use with my middle finger.

It's not the gun's fault, it's me. I just can't deal with that for a fighting weapon.

If that gun was a 9mm I would seriously consider it for CCW. It feels sooo good in the hand and the trigger is nice. Its just too damn big for a .380

[checko 180]

What do you mean its too big for a .380? As in you might as well get a bigger caliber?

[RedBowTies88 41]

There are much smaller guns firing more power cartridges. It would be a good range toy..if .380 would cheapen up

It's a great gun for someone recoil sensitive or for ladies learning a semi-auto.

Agreed. My girlfriend has a neck issue that makes her hands and grip weak. There's no way she can rack my 1911 but this one is super easy for her. Lightest in any pistol I've used by far. Also as ray said recoil is near a .22 imo
