man you hit it on the head. let me tell ya a story bout a man named OJU...............
once upon a time up in press-kit(prescott,az) after spending an entire day being dragged around thru antique stores............i stopped in a spoon store. i have always liked the looks of a PPK/S. knew nothing about them.
lo and behold heres a BRAND NEW USED barely fired stainless smith und vesson PPK/S. for $369. hell i knew they were at least 5 bills if not 6 usually. looked it over played with it and checked bore. no box.
ran out the store like i had robbed the place w/fresh box of hornaday personnal defense rounds. 20 minutes later off in the middle of BFE we started shooting. and it started jamming WTF????????????????????????????
suddenly my deal wasnt a deal. got online. surfed net. found out everything i wanted and didnt want to know.
liked the feel of the new smiths vs the original nazi ones but it was a constant FTF for me. fought with the mutha.
2 days later................smith und vesson puts up RECALL NOTICE because some of them when LOADED and you dropped decocker WOULD GO BANG! YIKES!
wrote smith a nasty gram voicing my displeasure and how i wanted it ported polished crappy trigger pull addressed etc.
well sum beeaatch smith and vesson delivered big time. the damn thing eats anything now.
since i have a couple of HK4's and have found the .380 round to be THE MOST CANTAKEROUS ROUND i have ever feeked with. i did some real life ammo studies and testing.
and guess what feeds everytime???????????????
FREEKING MAGTECH from brazil.
all my .380's love the stuff. so i bought a 1000 rds of it on sale not too long ago as the seller had sat on them during the "goofy ammo times" and was loosing his shirt now.
yer not gonna get too much satisfaction out of a .380 unless ya port and polish them. and even then its questionable about hollowpoints always feeding.
so to ensure mine go bang EVERYTIME...............we use MAGTECH .380 rounds. they are ISO9001 certified mfg.
i really do love them tho. great pocket gun when its hot here. this entire summer i have been packing my PPK/S everywhere i go cuz its light and easily concealed even in a pair of shorts.
the hot POO place to get them worked on is CYLINDER AND SLIDE in nebraska. they are the gurus. german or smith and vesson mfgd.
the .380 is a nasty azz round for its size.
