For years I loaded with hardball, today there are several excellent self defense loads that will get the job done with a hit "center mass". It sure beats pepper spray or a police whistle and 911 in Philly is "dial a prayer"! | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: They are nice pistols (PPs and PPKs). Some pros: Very advanced technically for the late 1920s. All steel, which gave it some heft (for its size), and helped to alleviate recoil. Accurate, and pretty reliable. Good ergonomics. Some cons: Heavy DA trigger pull. Small sights. Hammer bite to some individuals. But given that its been around for about 90+ years, it has had a lot going for it, including Bond, James Bond. As for carry, I'm still a bit leery with .380. YMMV.
