Yesterday, my new High Noon Holsters, model Tail Gunner, arrived. I was planning on using it with my PP .32. This holster is really nice; they did a great job. Anyway, the holster is advertised to fit the PP, PPK, or PPK\S. Well, the inside of the holster has the marking of a PPK from the production process, so even though it fits the PP fine, it fit the PPK at the gun store even better so I brought the PPK home. It's a black S&W version. What a sweet little set-up this makes. The price was probably a little high, $494, but this is the only one I've seen and I've been looking for months, so I had to buy it.

Any advice on ammo selection to break it in? Hollow points for CCW after break in? Thanks in advance, Benny.

I haven't seen a blued S&W ppk in the Buffalo, NY area yet. The stainless version is selling for about that much though.

I like Magtach for play though any good ball should work. As for a SD round Corbon has 3 different offerings I like the 90gr hp but want to try the DPX when my 90HP run low.
489 for stainless my dealer.
Luba slide real good when starting out. these pistols are a little tight most time.

The only Blued/Black ones I've seen lately have gold inlays & are in a fancy wood box, Way Overpriced Too..
How is the finish on the new pistol Benny? Is it a deep royal blue or a matte black finish? The Fancy inlayed one was a matte black finish..
S&W used to be known for thier great bluing jobs, wonder why they don't hardly ever use such a finish anymore? Probobly Costs Too Much!
I would just use Winchester White Box for break in, I've been useing Winchester Silvertips for carry, But wanna try the Cor-Bons if I can ever find a decent price on em..
And that must be a nice holster to go & Buy a gun to fit it!!
I've had a few High Noon Holsters for HKs..
Also I have a Brand new High Noon Belt in 36" Size Black if any one is interested, I outgrew it before I ever got it, I would guess 32" waist..Rock Steady Belt Cowhide black with Silver Buckle, Info Here HighNoon Belt

. Bite the bullet and pay the price I'm on SSN and I can afford a box or 2 now and then. You work so I know you can .

HI Beretta92, the top of the slide is matte black and the rest of the slide and frame are deep royal blue. The text on the slide is kind of a silver/gold color depending on the light. The grips are plastic, so I might have to get a set of Hogue checkered rose wood grips for it. The feed ramp and throat look better, for lack of a better word, that on my German PP .32, so I expect it to be reliable from the get-go. The slide to frame fit is tight but not too tight. It sure is a great looking gun - it's fun just to look at it! The High Noon holster really is very nice. Funny, when I got it, I emailed High Noon and told them the holster deserved a new gun. Workmanship is superb; I think it'll last a lifetime. The only thing is they didn't emboss their name on it. It's something to brag about - they need to get their name in their products. I hope to get to the range this weekend and put it to the test.

Thanks for all the ammo suggestions, I appreciate it.

Benny

SWEET!!
I'm glad to hear that the finish is the Royal Blue, The matte areas would look more black..
And High Noons Holster are some of the best I've ever seen..
I'm still in the look for a good lightweight S&W J Frame holster that will fill my Needs for my NEW S&W 442-2
Enjoy the new Walther Benny

My j fits very nicely in its Don Hume leather pocket holster. All my pistols for pocket fit good in DH.
