  • how much did this run you?

  • I will always stand by my s&w m&p 9mm compact.. but.. my gf got this gun and I'm kinda jealous.. It just looks.. so damn cool! I'm not kidding, damn its a sexy little piece lol

  • Very good review, all I have to say is there is a slide release, it(they) are the ambidextrous lever above the trigger guard.

    

  • I love shooting the PK380, its a comfortable gun. In one of my videos I shot a clay Target a pretty great distance away, so I can say they have great accuracy! Great vid, thanks!

  • The PK380 with a BA or BB on the slide(2010 or 2011 models) seem to be fine. The earlier ones were apparently junk. I have a late BA and after around 1000 rounds only had 1 fte on tula steel ammo as the only failure so far. It's a very accurate gun if you know how to properly hold and shoot a pistol. I carry this pistol in my pocket every day, very nice. All brands of ammo cycle well so far, Federal seems to work best and has a bit more kick.

  • anyone know what a good used or pawn shop price would be for this gun?

  • The trigger requires a lot of pressure before the weapon discharges.

  • Mine is away being serviced. It had a faulty extractor and the barrel was rubbing against the slide. Not a good experience for a first time Walther purchase.

  • what is ur take on a p99 for a conceal gun.... i had a p99 bb gun and i love the feel and am looking toward a p99 for conceal but then people tell me to go for the 380 what is ur advise.? thanks

  • @84chevyguy if u can conceal it go for it 9mm or .40 cal would be better than a .380. the compact modle might be for u.

  • @murph1911 thanks i think i found the gun for me .... its a ruger p95 any take on them?

  • @84chevyguy Good gun cant go rong with a ruger.

  • @84chevyguy I've owned my P95 for about 2 years now and absolutely love it. Not good for CC,but overall good gun. Just purchaced a Bersa UC 40cal, will update you guys soon on that one.

  • I have put almost 1000 rounds through mine and not a single failure. Only 2 problems would be the key to disassemble and the fact that .380 ammo can be pricey and hard to find but that's not the guns fault

  • @rotcband5564  what brand of ammo do you use? fmj or jhp? i have some pmc ammo but i havent had a chance to test it out yet.

  • @blypanda I have shot fmj, reloads, and speer gold dot jhp. No problems with any of them.

  • I have put over 1000 rounds through mine with not a single failure. Very easy to conceal. Only two downsides is the key to break down and that fact that .380 ammo is expensive compared to 9mm and sometimes hard to find but that's not the guns fault lol

  • just incase anyones wondering,the first editions are one of the 1st of the 2000 walther pk 380s made.if they dont say 1st edition their made after the 1st 2000. doesnt change anything just moraly satisfying i guess you could say

  • You can safely dry fire pretty much any hand gun. If you want to get better and more accurate shooting your gun, dry fire at least 10 mminutes a day. It makes a world of difference. Do NOT dry fire a rifle though.

  • Walther removed the slide release for both right and left handed shooters...

  • in my opinion they made this gun to large for the 380 platform

  • i dont buy .380's, but a special at a $190 value i didnt mind getting it =P

  • In Italy there called 9mm short,cool guns,fun shooter makes a great wife gun.

  • nragreer yu must be like really rich to be buying guns for your 8 year old o and no offense but if your wife has a body guard dont yu think thta when the time comes for you to protect her she will think yu cant do it and rely on that other guy ........ i dont know thats just not good for a marrige ( just saying dint want to be negative )

  • @edward35941 You're an idiot, he wasn't talking about an actual bodyguard, he was talking about a gun

  • still rather my bersa thunder ccw

  • The best way to know about your pistol,And dry firing.Some books the pistol come with will tell you. And if not,Next best way to know. The test is==-- You have a phone in the house.Phones are so cool,You can call and ask about your pistol.Just think about,The pin has a stopper on it. Like a door and the jam of the door. So you keep closing the door hard . And everyone knows what starts up slowly doing to the jam of the door.

    Love your pistol & The pistol will save your life.

    Take care all.

  • For a 380 it is a very nice pistol, I just picked one up for my 8 year old daughter. And it sound like one as well. But my lady's body guard 380 sounds like a 9mm going off.

    But both of them are very nice pistols.

    No crying masp3392,< Just funning <.. Not at all hard to break down. All that is,The pk380 just has more safety to the pistol. Ya the spring some what,But still it's just a 380 spring. Just a low coast, To buy a new one. My kriss is a fun one to break down.

  • nice gun

  • great video my friend

  • Nice review, but I have to say what so many others have said. My GF owns this gun and I just can't get over how much of a pain it is to break down and reassemble compared to my Glock. Having only owned glocks, its almost as if Walther went out of their way to make maintenancing this gun a pain in the ass. Way too many steps, and that spring is just the worst idea in history. Its modern times, and a new standard has been set. I'd like to see other companies live up to that new standard.

  • Dont dry fire a rimfire ... just sayin.

  • Dear Santa...

  • liked the gun until you said you had to have the key to break the gun down. Can't stand that.

  • great video. just getting my first handgun, nice and informative

  • great video. just getting my first handgun, nice and informative

  • I saw you dry fired the P22, is that harmful to the gun? I have done that on accident a few times.

  • @0958mcg on an .22 it could harm the gun so I wouldent make a habbit of it. I usally dont but wanted to show it off in the vid.

  • @0958mcg LOL ive heard that all my life now i build sniper rifles for the government now and ill tell you the gun is dry fired around a 100 times just to set the trigger dont worry about a dry fire just make sure its not loaded

  • @murph1911 have you had extraction problems or problems with the barrel? i wanna get one but thees are the only things keeping me from buying the gun. thanks for the vid.

  • I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUN! this was the first real pistol i shot not counting a tiny little 22. caliber the recoil on this gun is just great,im an 11 year old with tiny hands and i shot this perfectly,im a pretty good shot,i shot at a Barney poster and hit him right in between the eyes,after i shot a ruger p85 9mm and that was real fun lol but seriousley its a good gun

  • this pistol looks like it gets scratched easily

  • i cant wait tell taxes my friend just bout one last week and i am geting one that is stainless cant wait.

  • kurt is short in german

    so a kurt 9mm is a 380

  • @satchboogyfan Actually "Kurt" is a name "Kurz" is the word for "Short" in German. But I heard the person who made the video misspeak as well. Informative video regardless.

  • @schokoprinz I did not know how to say it thank u for the info. The person who told me said it as kurts.

  • @murph1911 ha, dont mention it man. keep the videos coming. I think im gonna go with a springfield XD .40 cal bi-tone 4''. What do you think about that for a CCW?

  • @schokoprinz Its a very nice gun my bro has one. with the right holster it should work out nicely.

  • I thought that your video was extremely informative and well thought out. I look forward to seeing more videos from you.

    Bam! :)

  • @mrsmooneywart Thanks for watchin more vids in the works.

  • i can't even watch the full review as your voice is obnoxious as fuck. you have this little smug tone that makes you sound like a fucking douchebag. go do clear eyes commercials

  • @scandmx5atl I have a contract in the works so if u dont like it don't watch, and make ur own vids about guns so u can be ur own happy little douch.

  • @scandmx5atl

    i must admit that the video is informative, but perhaps talking a little faster might be something to consider ... you're mellow approach has a droning effect

  • i love that it's hammer fired but WTF!?!? how could you not need a slide catch. that means you'll never be able to drop the slide 1handed after loading a fresh mag. in combat like getting robbed or shot at, it might suck to not be able to do that. or what if you have an injured hand, ur basically fucked. other than that, i love the size, shape and build quality. i even like the redundanat ambi safety which in fact shoulda been ditched instead of the slide release.

  • @paikmendez I agree with all of what u said.

  • @paikmendez

    Well, you have a point about that slide release but honestly - How many gun fights have you been in? How many times did you have to flip magazines rather quickly and how come that you have a spare mag so close at hand?

    In my opinion a hammer on a carry gun is a disadvantage, something that can get stuck on a piece of clothing or similar, therefore I like the P99 better. But having said that, same goes for the slide Relase on the P99, so there's always some compromise.

  • @jolf1245 Very well put, and have never been in a gun fight and hopfully never will be.

  • @murph1911

    Thank you for your reply. You know, I see it like this: If you carry a small lightweight gun of comparetively small caliber for "just in case" it might as well be a PPK, police officers have done so for decades. If you are really in danger of having to use that gun you better carry something with huge firepower, e.g. a 9 mil with 16 rounds in the mag like the P99. These days police officers do. It's horses for courses, actually.

  • I agree completely on the slide lock. I have a pair p-22s so my only reason to buy the pk would be if I come across the matching set boxed with both. Love how the serial numbers match on them.

  • This Gun Sucks!!!!

  • Shot my PK380 all through the two day defensive handgun course in Nevada. Two malfunctions in 250 rounds, and outshot the entire class in every drill with what all the guys with full size XDs and 1911s called my baby gun. I carry it every day now with confidence

  • @American556 How was that course, I will be taking it very soon.

  • Dude, good overview. I love my Walther, would recommend it to anyone as a great CCW sidearm., it's highly accurate which is the most important thing. Americans, remember 9/11 and stay strong...

  • I'm waiting for first report of a pk380 failing during defensive use.

  • does it have any problems? cuz my dad wants one

  • I love Ulm, used to live there.

  • is that key the same plastic POS thats on the p22? all does your finger get numb after firing it more than fifty times? the p22 sucks....i sold mine.

  • Make NO mistake....a .380 will save your ass when needed. Funny,after enduring all those years of "9mm vs .45" debate and now the .380 is becoming the most popular cartridge in the US. Simply,the .380 is practical. It can actually BE THERE if you need it. Leave your RUGER .44 Magnum at home in your gun safe,carry a good .380 for protection.

  • Is the slide made from the same shitty pot metal as the P22?

  • @KRN762 No its better.

  • @KRN762 Nope! It's way beefier than the P22. The PK380 is a sweet gun even for guys! Handles great, very accurate, and you can stick all 8 rounds on target very fast and easy.

    The key needed for the take down and the safety direction is my only complaint.

    I keep mine loaded with 7+1 in the chamber, in Dutch configuration for good measure.

  • @AmericanSoapBox Dutch configuration?  Please explain. TIA

  • can somebody please tell m e where to fing mags for this gun?!

  • Is the safety a decocker? Or is it like the p22 in that manner? I think they could have given it a P99 style slide release and been fine, and, for the size, they probably could have made it double stack and/or 9mm. I have a hard time seeing the role of this gun. Ag, I don't mean to rag on your gun. I guess it's a preference thing.

  • @Riflemanm16a2 The safty is not a decocker so that does suck. I would agree about the slide release, and they sould make this in 9mm, and .380 so u can have a choice. But still a very nice gun like u said preferce is what it comes down to.

  • can you comment on the reliability of this gun now that you've had it for awhile? i'm looking to get this as my first ccw pistol

  • @pbballer4life I have had no probs with this so far. my girl has shot it far more than me, and still no probs, it would be an ideal choice for ccw. it handles very nice, and would make a nice ad on for anyone I have been thinking of picking one up for myself.

  • You say it's "NOT YOURS" as if you think people will make fun of you for owning a 380. I'm sick of people thinking .380 is a CHICK caliber.

    I'm over 6' feet tall and 200lbs, I'm a black belt in martial arts and I OWN a PK380.

    Let me shoot you in the chest with my 380 Hollow Points and see if you still think it's a GIRLY GUN.

  • @AmericanSoapBox I never said it was a chick gun i own a .380, and my carry gun of choice is a .22 lr, and looking into getting an P 3AT. I do think I said its a good gun.

  • What do you think would you recommend that gun to a new shooter?

  • @bfgguns if u can find .380 then yes, if its hard to find where u are then i would go for the walther p22 way cheaper to shoot.

  • Just put one on layaway :D its going to be my pocket pistol, taking a CHL class on the 26th. yay

  • @vash241987 its a great gun just wish .380 was easier to find.

  • @murph1911 lol and today I changed my mind and switched it out for a PPS in 9mm, little more expensive, but its still a good pocket pistol.

  • I love walther pistols. the p22 was a fav, this might take the cake!  I like them for the size, firpower, mobility, and just plain coolness! As well as the unique magizine reales. although, iv never even held one... anyway, keep it up WALTHER!!!

  • Im actually going to get one tommorrow

  • I just took my concealed class with mine. I havethe silver slide is the only diffrnce. The gun shoots great. Ill get a vid up soon.

  • gee another review. how original

  • @AmericanSoapBox Gee another person who dosent have any vids of there own but wants to say something keep it constructive.

  • @murph1911 I think multiple reviews help alot, some people can be bias, and some can have a lemon gun. Thanks for the review!

  • @murph1911 Murph, if you dont mind, whatch pay, is was tod from buddy around $350, close? He does give me great deals!. thanks.

  • @4624tone Paid a little more for the first addition, but thats what I have seen them going for in local gun shops.

  • @murph1911 thanks man, i either am going with the walther PK380 or taurus p809 9mm, both nice, just wanna hold them first, ive always owned taurus since i have finda big hands, and grips can be adjusted

  • i want one next pistol most likely

  • I have one. Why all the scratched up barrels? Besides that I like this gun very much. I didn't know anything about this gun. I got it becuase as soon as I held it, it was like you're best pair of broken in underware.

  • I have a amazing berretta twice the size of this gun

  • my opinion its a well built gun shoots dead accurate 15 yards i wiil make a vid soon. no recoil a little bigger than other 380s but its not a pocket gun great with so many defective kahr,s (PM9)and ruger lcp best option in my opinion. i own all 3

  • thank for the input will be waiting for that shooting vid

  • thanks for the usless comment. My camera sucks so deal with it if u dont like it dont watch.

  • Walther's thought process sucks. For what the PK380 weighs it should have more features.

    WTF, you need a key to take it down?!!! That is retarded.

  • hey hello great video the only thing that i don't lie about thes gun is the big letters on it thats not my cup of tea with the brand on it and so forth but thats only my own opinion.

    i rated yuo 5 stars :)

  • Yeah i dont like the big letters also. tahks for the rating.

  • Your excitement is a little over the top, might want to tone it down! Anyone with questions about this weapon ask me, I'll give you some responses with enthusiasm, great weapon!

  • hey johnny my serial number is 1776

    see what u can do with that

  • does the hammer spring on your pk380 stick out under the hammer a few millimeters? thanks

  • Not that i have seen.

  • What is your serial number

    First Edition is one of two thousand?

  • One thing you dont want to ask is someones serial number.

  • lol, what is this. the new ppk. lol

  • Anyone know if the laser for the P22 will fit the PK380 rail?

  • No it dosent they make one for pk380

  • The Viridian for the P22 fits.....Its the same part number for the PK380.....I have it on mine and love it.....It a lot nicer than the cheap Walther one.....

  • veridian green laser

  • @KingpinHead Yes, the Walther laser for the P22 fits exactly. I have one on mine.

  • Waiting for the range report :)

  • Do not have a detent lever of the slide, why?. Thanks from Asturias, Spain.

  • To keep it as slim and as simple as posible i think like a ppk

  • You know you can disconnect the magazine safety on your P22 so that it will fire without the clip in?
