The new Beavertail design makes the pistol awkward (and a little ugly) looking if you ask me.
WayneD, I used to have a stainless InterArms PPK in .380, I wish I still had it (friend owns it now, he practically begged for it) that thing was (is) great. It would digest
anything. As far as something instead, how about this -:
Supposed to be available this summer - 10 shot 9mm, same size as PPK
DavidS, $1300 is way too much. Try gunbroker or AuctionArms, $850 is a more reasonable price for a .380 German PPK. And don't discount the old war guns, them things work just fine (with FMJ), and .32 is a good caliber for up close and personal.
Take a look at the pictures of the old PPK I've got in the Marketplace (although its not for sale anymore). It shoots real well.
