Spoon experts, opinions needed
One of my greatest regrets is not running off the ex-wife long before she left and keeping all my toys, such as 30k in photography gear, my 944.... and all my "spoons." Of course, I did keep the house, so there.
I praticulary miss my German Walther PP. .380 cal. What kind of Wampum would it take in these trying times to replace the PP, or pick up a PPK? I'd prefer the German vintage, but hey....? I know, the Interweb could answer these burning questions, but what would you guys have to do?  Thanks!

I sold my PP .380 for $800.00 with the box and papers and regret it. It was a nice gun. Much better than the PPK/S I had. Take your time and find another PP. Just my .02.

On a side note they are sexy guns and hard to resist, but they all have jamming issues, or at least all 3 I've had. Just buy a Colt. Last edited by targa911S; 11-26-2009 at 04:13 PM.. |

When I bought my PP the gun smith/shop owner did some fancy, schmancy machining to the inner workings and no matter how fast I unloaed the clip it never jammed... even with hollow points. He did all my autos that way and I never had a problem. Another reason I should have kept the guns and run off the ex. Oh,of the other autos I no longer own is the Colt Govt. Model .380.... and the .45 Officer's Model version. Both in stainless.
