So he wants $300 for it, so looks like I'll be picking it up. Hope it is a decent gun.

That's a good price. From what I've heard from people with 1st hand knowledge of these is that you need to run a couple of boxes of ammo through them before they are "broken in" and work flawlessly. Misfeeds aren't uncommon in the 1st box of ammo, but they tend to not happen after the gun has been cycled a bit.

Cool, I've read that this is a good handgun to start with too. Why are people saying that the ammo for the gun is expensive? 380 isn't to bad.

.380 is in very high demand these days. It's sometimes hard to get, and often it's about 50% more expensive than 9mm. (However if the difference between a $9 and a $13 box of ammo is a problem....)

Yea, that was kinda what I was looking at, a lot of reviews where saying how it was so much more...when it was like $4 more or I could do $100 for 500 rnds of 9mm or $125 for 500 rnds of .380 If you can't afford that $3-4 more do you really even need a gun in the first place?

WOW, I hope I don't have to do this, but if I do I don't think I'll keep the gun. Kinda want something I don't have to machine all to hell to work properly.

No they run just fine "stock" but some hate the trigger system on it.

Thinking of picking up a gen 4 glock 26 or 27 in a little bit. Anyone have any experiences with the gen 4 baby glocks. I have shot the gen 3s and love my gen 4 19, just feel the need to add to the family.

Well that's good to hear, I hope I'll have time to run and get it today...

He might be a bit biased (he likes glocks) but you get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdyq1p7UVAw

lately ive been interested in the model 1895 Nagant revolvers. anyone have any info on them? the price is what interests me, plus i think it would go well with my other russian guns.

 

[Poodles]

Cool revolvers, only one that's effective with a suppressor so far as I know.

i did read that in an artice earlier today before work. i know the soviet 7.62x38r ammo they are chambered for is impossible to find in the us, but i heard you can fire both .32 s&w long and .32 h&r magnum. anyone else hear of have experiecen with this? i dont wanna go buy a gun if i cant ever find any ammo to shoot thru it.

So I picked up the Pk380, paid 300 for it. Got 50 rounds with it to, dunno when I'll get time to shoot it, but it looks well built.

Just keep an eye on the rear "cam" that is actually the safety blocking cam to prevent the hammer from hitting the firing pin.

Some Pk's are suffering from this cam breaking.

>< I'm quite noobish when it comes to handguns, could you explain what you mean or point out what you are talking about? And do you know if there is an upgraded part to solve this issue?

Take a look at the safety on the back of the slide. You'll notice that a "cam" connects the left and right safeties. That cam on some pk380s breaks due to the hammer being a little TOO tall. Umarex/Walther/Smith and Wessons fix is to make the cam stronger, not fix the hammer.

So where can I get a stronger cam then? How do I know if I have one of the weaker guns?

im guessing that is something that you would have to get from walther or s&w. anyway congrats on the purchase, i love mk pk380.
