Would you buy a Walther PP .32ACP ?

denfoote · 01-23-2006, 08:59 PM

I took it out Sunday and punched grapefruit size groups at 25 yards!! :jaw:

If it was not in 7.65mm and would shoot hollow points, I'd carry it!!!

Never cared much for the .32 round. Now Corbon, for concealed carry, would be pretty interesting

Walthers pistol, yes i would purchase the both weapons pp/s and the ppk/s, great weapons

I have a FEG AP-MBP, which is a Walther PP with a Hungarian accent. I don't like the double action trigger pull, but the single action pull is very nice indeed. Haven't decided what to do about the sights yet - I'm thinking white nail polish outline on the rear sight - but it points naturally and handles well. For anyone who can't afford a Walther, the FEG is a viable alternative.

I voted no but it is more .32 I don't like not Walther. I wouldn't buy any .32. If I go that small I'll take a .22 and play useing cheap ammo. If I'm going to go for protection I would take nothing less than a .380 or .38 sepcial.

Walther is a good gun in general. I had a PPK years back.

I love my Walther/Manurhin PP in .32ACP; mine shoots SO accurately. It feeds HP ammo and looks great!

I've been a "Walther Man" all my life. I've carried either a PPK or a PP since getting my CCW permit in 1981. I like the PPK for being compact, but in PP form, you can't beat 9 shots(8 +1). Many say .32 is under powered, but with 9 shots available, if the first couple doesn't put 'em down, you can shoot 'em in the face a couple times.

Carl Walther pioneered features that didn't find main stream firearms until 50 years later....double action, decocking safety, hammer blocking safety. chambered round indicator.

I'll conceed that for military and law enforcement, maybe not...but for civilian personal protection there's nothing safer and more dependable.

Here is my Walther family:

therifleman · 08-07-2008, 09:36 PM

to bad its not in 9mm

TheJoker · 08-10-2008, 06:35 PM

I was watchng Dr. No the other day. That PPK sure looks like a PP. I wonder if they were effected by the import ban on the PPK.

LiveToShoot · 08-10-2008, 06:47 PM

Too small, gotta be too close for serious effectiveness...much rather bump it up to .40 or .45 to be sure.

Every shot has got to count...

...cause I don't want to waste ammo on some thug.

stitchclimber · 08-10-2008, 06:49 PM

Nothing against the gun itself. But if I'm going with an underpowered cartridge I'd rather stick to either a .22 for cost or a .380 for compatibility reasons.
