Why I Compare The Walther PPKs To A Super Model - First Mag Review 

Yes. I'm Brandon.

@@BrandonLS93 Hi Brandon

They are a phenomenal company, their TPH 22 was one I used to own and would love to come across a used one I could buy.

@@BrandonLS93 My personal opinion there is Pride there to be had. Karen ontheotherhand. . .

@@BrandonLS93 let’s go!

My Beretta MOD81 Cheetah in 7.65 or 32ACP with 12+1 capacity; would stomp every aspect of any Walther made product. Nostalgia is its only redeeming quality.

Same. Brosnan's also hooked me with the Walther P99 tbh. Can't stomach the new ones though.

Just been doing a bit of looking around and such and I know it’s over used but the UK already only has 1/3 of the homicide per capita rate of the US and, not only that, but they have an equal number of knife deaths also. Why is that if guns prevent violence and deaths? Shouldn't it all be the other way around if that were true? Clearly it is showing that the guns are not doing anything to change the homicide rate, you are simply getting the same amount of knife-related homicides as we do, but you also have all the inevitable gun-related ones on top of that now too. How can that ever be argued as a peace-keeping success? Would there be even more than the current +200% homicide rate if there were no guns in there? Are Americans really that bloodthirsty that it's just those guns that are keeping them "only" ending more than 3 times as many people as we do and what is preventing them from ending even more than that? I refuse to believe that for a moment. "And why would I want to take away the tool that will protect me?" Yes, why would you indeed? What do you need to protect yourself from that absolutely requires a firearm at a minimum? That's the rod for your own back that you have created by allowing so many people, including the overwhelming majority that are either completely stupid, or dangerous, or even both, to easily arm themselves with a tool that makes ending a life as easy as merely having to move their finger slightly. Now you have to live with that threat and so you can't give up your guns for fear of being faced by the criminal one. I don't say you should give up your guns, unfortunately we have created a reality where you need them and there's no changing that now. I'm saying we don't need them and have no desire to create this oxymoronic armed "utopia" that doesn't really exist.

@@kylethedalek Not everywhere in the US has the same gun laws. Which is exactly why you shouldn’t compare states or countries for that matter. Cultures, customs etc. are completely different. Not to mention the US is larger than the U.K in both population and size. So the fact that the U.K. has the same number of knife deaths as the US is actually pretty bad. I believe the best example of weapons being a deterrent is “mutually assured destruction”, if you don’t know what that means then look it up, it’s the only reason many of us are alive today.

@@kylethedalek stop thinking you know what goes on cross the pond based off BBC News and trying to compare statistics between two different countries,cities,etc. Also stop accusing fault and blame to regular everyday law abiding citizens and put the blame on the perpetrators of the crimes. They don't care about law and order and the firearms they use are stolen or bought off the street from previous crimes. There will always be a black market and all people with your backwards mindset ever end up doing is creating more unarmed victims and higher crime rate. You all decided to bow down to your masters to tell you how to live because apparently you aren't adult enough to manage your own affairs without a daddy. That's the choice you made. Leave others choices in countries you don't even live in to do as they see fit. I'm our modern world it amazes me these people that have no sense of self preservation and purposely leave themselves helpess. Yet when bad things happen the idiots blame the people who have a bit of sense to defend themselves and their families instead of the criminals committing the crime.

My first handgun also, but mine was extremely finicky about Ammo. It simply wasn’t reliable. Plus the safety is “not intuitive”. And it weighs a ton for limited capacity of a weak cartridge.

@@chipsterb4946 That hasn't been my experience. My gun has never jammed. It is heavy but that's part of what makes it shoot so sweet!

@@randycooper2046 this was almost 30 years ago. I knew nothing about semiauto pistols. Probably could make it work fine today…

My second pistol I bought when I was 18 years old. It was the SS model. I legally carried it daily with an extra mag.

@@chipsterb4946 - back in the mid 70's they did not have many choices for something small with more than 6 rounds.

I love my interarms Walther PPKS 👍🏽

I also ccw my interarms ppk! Have for years…

Also it was a PPK, not a PPK/S (which you have pointed out as well)...I really wanted a blued PPK in .32 acp but finally settled for it in .380...

@@fsfazekas That is one of the vintage guns I would buy if I could. Unfortunately here in Finland "pocketpistols" are own firearm category, which is very difficult to get permit for. If I could get such permit, I would prefer to use it on something modern and more practical.

"Oh and double-oh-seven? Leave the Beretta."

.25 caliber? Might as well throw rocks. Even a .22LR is more effective.

@@fsfazekas I want both!

My gun store has a picture of Pierce Brosnan next to the one on display

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey sacriledge! 👿

@@NoTimeForThatNow correct it should be Connery

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey definitely, but Id actually accept anyone but Brosnan. 😂🤣

@@NoTimeForThatNow Hitler?

.32 ACP AKA 7.65 Browning. The one true caliber for this gun. 👊

good info. I was going to give one to my wife, now I'll need to check first

All those new safeties on the American mades, why can’t California add it to it’s “safe roster”🙄

Yes. I'm Brandon

Allegedly?

Very elegantly put!

Mark Felton Productions has a fantastic video about that very fun. It’s probably still in someone’s possession.

@Karl Von Eberfeld-Dunquartzhausen he was still a socialist who destroyed Germany because he bought the lie that an economy can not grow save for taking from another economy. Let us ignore the fact that he was an anti- Semite, demon worshipping, former male prostitute.

I didn't know that... huh, I guess it isn't completely trash then!

Yeah, I run 90gr underwood +p XTP at 1200 fps

That IS the safety I choose for my pocket carry. Regular safety is not engaged.

That's how I treat my single action revolvers. That pulling back of the hammer is mentally "flicking the safety off" for me...and that puts me in "firing line" mode where I focus TWICE as hard about stuff like "it's loaded"..."not pointing it at anything I don't intend to shoot"..."keeping my finger off the trigger until I'm ready to fire"..."checking the area behind what it IS pointed at"...weird stuff like that. I mean, that stuff could be taught to people for free...it's like there's meme saying exactly those phrases. If only they were on tik-tok or not banned from social media. That would save a lot of people in Hollywood, or at least one person.

Gives you a. Are you sure about this moment? A very small one. But a moment none the less.

@@dboy6400 Exactly. I've never thought of the "safety" on a DA/SA semi as a "safety." It's a decocker. Drop the hammer, flip the decocker back to "off" and holster the gun. It's ready.

Or … Let’s Go Rogan !!!

FJB looks like FJ3 on the 👕

Yes, I'm Brandon.

@@controlledchaos8851 did Rogan drop some truth bombs?

Let go Baldwin... I mean Brandon... sorry I get them confused, they both murdered innocent people!

PPK/S also has that loaded chamber indicator

mine too

@@mrgirth6510 I'm pretty sure that's a feature of the entire PP series, even though the PP itself isn't manufactured anymore.

You can’t shoot the PPK like it’s a modern gun. There’s a thumb rest on the grip panel because of that. I don’t disagree with Lucky Gunner on it being outclassed bu modern 380 options, but I do think it’s a viable option personally. If it wasn’t for the price I’d say people should consider it. I got mine inherited so it’s budget for me to carry

@@MLGpromyass - Haven’t shot PPK, but I hear it’s similar but nicer than my P64 in 9 makarov. I really enjoy my old gun, it points naturally and helps me work the trigger right. Stiff DA pull, but interestingly it doesn’t seem to hurt accuracy. Safety is tatally unintuitive, so if I carried it would do so decocked and unlocked. I don’t carry it because (1) no night sights and (2) cold re-blueing would not stand up to my sweat.

@@finngamesknudson1457 hey man modern guns are more practical. For me it’s a situational choice of convenience and money. The hard thing about not having hella money is your CCW is just one do all choice if you can’t

@@MLGpromyass Ha that pistol is not outclassed. Only in size, but you're compromising a lot for that. Not worth it. You will not find a better shooting .380 aside from similar offerings (maybe). There are Brownings, FNs, and Berettas I believe which would compete... but these are all older designs that fill the hand better than the silly new pocket pistols. I had a glock 42 as a pocket carry recently but would much rather carry a Walther PPKs any day, and I don't hate my Glocks.

@@majorpwner241 sorry lol I forgot to mention I use mine because I inherited it so it was free haha

No it is juck boe fiden

Trick is to reload 380. No big deal. Was my first pistol and learned to reload for it. That said my Ppk is totally reliable with all ammo , fmj, lead reloads and hollow points

Lucky 380 has came back. At least here in Cincinnati. Although its $10 more a box than 9mm.

@@tyfrazier7786 I haven't seen a box of .380 in a store in over 2 years...

@@stereodreamer23 Terrible

@@stereodreamer23 ammoseek links you to many online ammo suppliers. You can find a lot of 380 there. You will have to pay for shipping. But at least you can pick up a couple boxes.

👍 GoldenEye reference

Lotta good that'll do you on the other side of the armored glass in Facility when I've got the Cougar Magnum.

I used to think the same thing, it's like the Golden Gun but holds 7 rounds in the magazine. Why would I want or care to beat Train on Secret Agent in a crazy time to get the Silver PP7? Oh, but then I did. Silver PP7 gang, what's up. If you're still playing GE and have a GameShark, get the code for the debug menu and by pressing L and R at the same time on controller 1, you can enable all guns and max ammo (not infinite, but you can just enable max again if you manage to run low) within multiplayer and have everything. Interestingly, if you kill another player that was holding the Gold PP7 or Silver PP7, if you run over it, it will say "Picked up a Gold PP7"/"Picked up a Silver PP7". You'll also have access to the phantom, watch laser, tank, taser, and shotgun. And multiplayer recognizes all of them.

Did you get it in .32 ACP? Because that's what Bond had. LOL! At least in the Bond books.

@@Courageous_Lion right, and it was a PPK, not the newer PPK/S. But I guess it’s close enough to pass…😉

@@Courageous_Lion At the time I didn't know the difference between a PP, PPK or a PPK/S, but I did know what a P-38 was. Mine was a 9mm kurz. For those of you from Reo Linda that's a .380.

Leon, I had one of these a few years ago and had constant jams. Traded it. Did you have any - I might have just picked up a lemon.

@@zincman1995 I had a interarm import from Germany one which was good quality. Sorry to say but the American made ones from S&W ( PPK/S )seem to be less reliable than one made in Germany. Mines did not jam and i was using mid grade ammo so... Get one that was imported from Germany like the Interarm ones.

@@leonswan6733 Yep; that's the one I had (S&W), thanks, good info.

I considered removing material on the bottom edges of the dove tail, but just sold it instead, because if that didn't work out I'd screw up the resale value. As it was, the shop I sold it to for half what I paid ended up selling it on Gunbroker for more than I originally paid for it.

Black model pistol? How did you do it while maintaining the finish?

No. Stainless steel model.

Something happens when you pick one up. You find yourself saying "The names Bond...James Bond" which WILL drive your other half NUTS!

@@Courageous_Lion I have an other half? Lucky me

Don’t overthink it and just get it next time! Do a little research tho, there are some made by Smith & Wesson that are very good. Mine is one of those and it is surgically precise. I forget which import was considered not so good, but there is one, interarms I think, that is not considered as good. I can’t say first hand because I have only shot my own.

it's already been on mine.

Biden: What national anthem?

I have heard it suggested seriously.🙄

Don't... they may then focus on changing it.

He'll blink a few times, look at you blankly, try to sniff your hair, and then get ushered away by his handlers (who are representing the REAL people in charge.)

He would probably ask “What National Anthem?”
