Is this a sign?
« on: April 22, 2010, 11:37:25 AM »
So with the micro .380 craze still at its peak, why would these two guns be showing up on the used market? This is the first that I have seen ANY of the NEW micro .380s on the used market.

Maybe their life partner lost them in the break up!

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour." George Washington

S&W is also jumping on the leetle .380 bandwagon.

I'll just keep my Kel-Tec, but at least with my Wather PPK/S I can beat the BG with it,.... ::)

TW.....this past week as you know, I was able to have a bit of fun with the PPK.  I'd shot hundreds of rounds through one years and years ago but never carried one in a holster.  I dropped it into a JIT slide for my 1911, and though loose, it worked for the range.

I found it quite comfy and even though it's nearly as heavy as my Ruger SP101 at 23 oz vs 25, the PERCEIVED weight of it was quite surpising.  I'm hooked and looking for a blued version.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
In the novels preceding Dr. No, Bond uses a .25 ACP Beretta automatic pistol carried in a light-weight chamois leather holster, however, in From Russia, with Love, in the draw, the gun snags in Bond's jacket, and, because of this incident, M and Major Boothroyd order Bond re-equipped with a Walther PPK and a Berns-Martin triple-draw holster made of stiff saddle leather. He continues using this pistol until John Gardner's License Renewed, where he uses different weapons, choosing the ASP 9 mm in later books. According to Gardner in the novel for License to Kill, the Walther PPK is not Bond's favorite weapon ( note - The PPK was the gun that failed during the attempted kidnap of Princess Anne ). With Raymond Benson, Bond begins using the PPK again until being updated in both the film and novelisation Tomorrow Never Dies with the Walther P99.

It's still a Walther, It's still a Walther, (I'm clicking my heels together), It's still a Walther,....

Originally in 32. props or not, it shot blanks,..... ;D (rubber prop gun indeed),....
