Walther pp in .32 for $600
https://palmettostatearmory.com/walther-pp-32-acp-3-90-8rds-4796029.html
>>
pp lmao
>>
Stupid, unpleasant gun in a mousefart caliber. Stop buying these pieces of shit. I've seen so many threads about PP/PPKs and never met a single person that actually owned one, I never see them in family photos either. At least get a 1903 if you're going to shoot a terrible 120 year old cartridge
>>
>>65182687
I own one
I don't post my shit online
Mine's in .380 and has hogue-type grips on it and is pleasant to shoot
fuck you
they're neat
DA/SA > plastic striker fired bullshit
you sound like you suck cocks
.32 ACP was what it was designed for so would probably be even better to shoot
I bet you don't even shoot or own guns
i win

>I watched the Lucky Gunner video where he said it isn't very good, now I am an expert
I have the Arkansas PP in .32 and it is a very well made and extremely pleasant to shoot. I strongly believe choosing the .380 in any model, but especially the PPK, is a huge mistake. Buying the PPK/s is also a huge mistake. Either get the PP or the PPK in .32, that's the only real choice.

Otherwise this is one of the nicest handguns I have owned in terms of quality, it shits over all the sweatshop plastic guns made by Ruger and S&W and for the price I paid new it was a steal.
>>
>>65182743
I agree with getting the .32 chambering but why not the PPK/s?

nta but I have an interarms PPK/S in .380. It's a beautiful gun but can be a bit snappy

My father shoots a PPK. He enjoys it greatly, the only issue he has is that the safety ironically cuts his finger.
>>
>>65182906
it's a halfbreed abomination that only existed to satisfy import laws, now that we have a domestic PPK there is no reason to buy the /s

A quick gunbroker search shows most starting bids at $275 for beat up looking surp, and that's the opening bid, so it'll probably end up being over $300 plus shipping.

You aren't giving a reason not to get one. It's the best of both worlds: ppk slide is easier to conceal, especially in the pocket, and the frame is only like 1/8 inch longer and gives you an extra round.

Retard, you aren't explaining why it's inferior. Just because they made the changes for importation regulations doesn't mean it didn't result in a better gun

Explain why. It doesn't matter that James bond used it, and it doesn't matter that it was originally chambered in it. .380 is objectively superior.

This. Even with blowback action, .380 has far less recoil than a 9mm of the same size, so it's still not much recoil. If I shoot more than 100 rounds through my ppks I'll probably get a blister from the beavertail, but who fucking cares?

How?

>>65187173
>Even with blowback action, .380 has far less recoil than a 9mm of the same size
You're way underestimating the difference the action makes. My 84bb is the size of a G19 but kicks worse. Hell, the recoil is worse than my G42.
>>
>>65184815
you chose both the wrong chambering and the wrong frame size. this is tragic. kindly reconsider.

>better caliber
In what way? Chambering statistically has no bearing in real world self defense, which is the only real use case for this handgun.
>I don't need to larp as James bond.
That's why I own and recommend the PP, ideally threaded but it's OK without, because all guns should be suppressed.
>>
>>65185257
I kinda regret not getting the threaded PP in 32 after seeing this. What silencer are you using anon? Any luck finding one that still lets you see the sights?

>>65187203

Then just use .25.

How do people justify spending 50 cents a round on these? You can just get a 22 LR pistol if you don't like recoil
>>
>>65187203
.32 is a shitty bitch caliber, and the "statistics" that say caliber doesn't matter are very poorly compiled.

Surely you would not hesitate to upload a video of you shooting yourself with a .32 then, correct?

>Surely you would not hesitate to upload a video of you shooting yourself with a .32 then, correct?
What a stupid argument. Hitting your finger with a hammer isn't lethal, but I wouldn't do it. .380 has more energy than .32, that's a fact. That means it has a better chance of getting through a sternum. People die from organ damage or blood loss, so penetration is what actually kills people, and .32 is bad at that. It's also less available than .380, especially during shortages where manufacturers will stop making anything other than very common calibers. It has virtually no advantages.
>>
I'd rather get a Bersa thunder

>>65187388
>380 has more energy than .32, that's a fact. That means it has a better chance of getting through a sternum.
You entirely forgot to take into consideration or even mention sectional density, which shows your ignorance.
>People die from organ damage or blood loss, so penetration is what actually kills people, and .32 is bad at that
You don't want the guy to die necessarily in self defense, you want him to stop fighting.

All this, of course, doesn't even matter. We already have the statistical analysis PROVING that choice of chambering for self defense LITERALLY DOESN'T MATTER, and the only actual important thing is who gets shots on target before the other guy. Thus you should choose the chambering which is most reliable (i.e. not rimfire) and most shootable, which in our case is .32.

You, like most, have obviously bought into the FBI's ballistic gelatin min-max autistic cope and it's truly sad.
>>
>>65187436
>We already have the statistical analysis PROVING that choice of chambering for self defense LITERALLY DOESN'T MATTER
No, we dont.
>>
>>65187436
>statistical analysis
What we have is like, one graph, where one guy compiled data from some shootings. How was the data compiled? What was the range? Type of bullet? Clothing? Where did they get hit? How do we know he didn't cherry pick? Did he include things like point blank gang executions or suicides that would tremendously skew data? Without knowing any of this, that graph means nothing.
>>
>>65187550
Police shootings also tremendously skew results. Most cops mag dump nogs. When you shoot a groid 15 times, how do you know how many shots it actually took to kill him? The first shot might have been enough, but what if he shot him 14 more times afterwards? That won't be recorded as a 1 shot incapacitation/kill.
>>
>>65187188
Ah yes, let me pick the loser round
>>65187550
Oh you're talking about that chart? The one that has severe sampling bias because it has only about a dozen or so 32 shootings versus hundreds of 9 and 45 shootings? The one that includes fucking military shooting data in a self-defense analysis? The one that doesn't control for distance or any other variable? That chart?
>>
>>65187436
>statistical analysis
Such "analysis" has such immense issues with its sampling and sample size that any conclusions made with it are pure conjecture. Moreover, pointing to any study and saying it "proves" anything full stop is the hallmark of a halfwit pretending to be smart. You look at one chart that confirms your conclusions and never consider the evidence against it
>>
>>65187731
There are only two charts that I see floating around /k/, and both of them do a poor job at accounting for, or even noting any of the variables or how the data was collected. Anyone that looks at those charts and believes that .22 is as effective as .45 or .357 or whatever is a fucking retard. .32 is probably great for a tiny gun like a keltec p32, but if the gun isn't microscopic, I don't see why one would choose .32 over .380 unless maybe they're an infant or female.
>>
The caliber with the worst autists is always .32, this thread proves it. Its a dead caliber for a reason, just get a 380/9/45/10mm and move on with your life. Its fine for an amusing range toy, but screeching about it for legit SD is just dumb these days.
>>
>>65187767
I probably would even trust it for CC, but to claim it's good, or even better than other cartridges is absolutely fucking retarded.
>>
>>65187780

With the P32, I wouldn't say its wrong to toss it in your pocket as a quick "run to the store" gun, but its massively outdated with things like the LCP Max exist where you can get the same size gun with 10 rounds of .380 at the cost of like $240. Theres no reason to go out of your way to get a .32 for SD, its not 1925.

22 isn't reliable.
Need centerfire.
Need compactness.
Need reliability.
That's all.
One of pauls favs was .25 acp Beretta.
I prefer the p32 myself.
>>
>>65189873
>100 grain .32 bullets
The average .32 slug is 65-70 grains. You're either retarded for not knowing, or being dishonest. If you're using 100 grains to make the .32 look better, I'll use my norma .380+p ammo, which is 300 ft/lbs. Sectional density is only one part of the equation. If the goal is penetrstion, then that is what you should be concerned with, not the factors that determine penetration. .380 has better penetration than .32, and it isn't up for debate.
>>
>>65189923
yeah but the p32 weighs 10 ounces and the ruger lcp weighs 14 so i can carry more p32
>>
>>65189923
You didn't know that sectional density is the ONLY important factor? 100gr .32 is better than 115gr 9mm! Nevermind that it has less energy than a strong fart. Why aren't we all using. 32?
>>
>>65189952
my farts usually dont blow peoples heads up but you might be of a different constitution
>>
>>65189972
Well, neither do .32s. Nobody is arguing that .32 would suck to get shot by, but it's disingenuous to take one factor to claim that .32 is better than larger calibers. Energy is generally a good metric, so is penetration, and virtually all common SD calibers beat .32. It's fine to like .32 for whatever reason, but it is definitely a weaker caliber than .380. Is the extra capacity and lower recoil worth it? Maybe, but you're better off making that argument than claiming it's stronger.
