I have a PPK S&W, .380. Had some initial FTF problems but they seem to be solved. Could someone provide a link or two on this forum for PPK ammo. Both for range ammo and personal defense. I am especially interested in personal defense.
Tx!!

I've found that anything full metal jacket feeds just fine.

Unfortunately for self-defense(assuming you mean HPs) it can really be hit or miss. My PPKS doesn't like Fiocchis but it runs through just about any other HPs I put in it. The best option is to buy a couple different brands and try them out.

I've also heard that getting your feed ramp polished can help any feed issues...but I haven't been able to try this myself yet.

My S&W PPK/S feeds Winchester white box FMJ flawlessly, time after time; I've never had so much as a hic-cup with it. It also feeds Speer Gold Dot JHP ammo, which I use for self-defense, perfectly: No blips, no slips, no errors.

For FMJ I have used magtech, Sellior and Bellot, and CCI blazer with a few hiccups with the S&B not wanting to go fully into battery. For SD rounds I have used Remington Golden Sabers with 0 problems.

I also have a S&W PPK/S and I have used Winchester White Box from WallyWorld. Never had a problem ammo related. I have also used CCI Blazer Brass. No problems at all. I remember reading that another member had issues with this ammo and they believed it stemmed from the shape of bullet, but like I said ... I have never had a problem.

As for JHP's, I have shot Rem. Golden Sabers and Corbon 90gr with no problems at all. I currently have the Corbon's loaded in both mags ready to go. I like the Sabers, but I am not sure how much I like the 102gr weight bullet. I am still debating in this small caliber which is better ... 102 or 90 for optimal pentration and damage.

Excellent! Thanks guys, a real help!

Target ammo...Winchester White Box from Wal-Mart


Defensive, I use Winchester Ranger SXT's. When Winchester had to pull their black talons, they dropped the name, and made a more efficent bullet.

Im sure you can guess, it does wonders to the inside of someone who is trying to harm you.

My Interarms PPK has fed Winchester Silvertips flawlessly for 20 years. It also has no problem digesting Cor-Bon hollowpoints.
