Walther PK .380?

Is this gun really coming out? I am in love with the p22, but the same gun in a larger caliber! I told my wife that if they made the p22 in a better caliber I'd buy 5! I will. I see many mixed release dates on the net.

Any advice, any news, anyone seen or held one?

I love my P22 also, and I would like to put my hands on a PK380. I haven't seen one anywhere or heard of anywhere having one yet. it might end up like the Kahr P380 and the Sig P238. they had the articles and the adds on them for like 6 months before they really started showing up. The only Kahr P380 i have seen in the one that I bought, and I have only seen one Sig P238 also. Release date on the Walther web site says March/April/May 09.

It shouldve already been out. It's coming & it looks really good. If I wasn't getting a sig with rosewood grips I'd be getting 1. My only issue with the PK.380 is that it's a little large for pocket carry. If I can't pocket carry it I might as well get a larger caliber.

I would like to add a few things since I was a little drunk last night when I posted the above. I believe Walther has kinda missed the boat a little on this 1. The PK.380 looks really good & will sell well since the P22 has been so popular but I think they should have taken a different approach.

If they would have designed the new .380 around the PPS platform & made it just a bit smaller I believe it could have been 1 of the hottest pocket guns around. Put it at a price point around 379.00-400.00 range & it would be unstoppable. It wouldve taken some of the kel-tec / LCP market & stole the Sig P238 & Kahrs thunder right off the bat. A complete high end high quality pocket rocket under 400.00 bucks would be smokin. Just a few thoughts off the top of my head. I hope it doesn't sound as if I'm rambling.

Keep your eyes out, cause I've been looking for one since March. All my wife will carry/shoot is the P22, so she is actually excited about the 380. She'll even let me buy one, and she said no more guns for at least a year!!! So new toy headed my way as soon as they get on the shelves.

start looking for ammo for it now. it's either pay 30-50 a box for it at a gun show or the rare dealer that has it in, or keep checking Walmart/Dicks/Academy/Bass Pro/Cabelas/Gander Mountain..... til you find someone that has some in.

Why not a PPK in .380 if you want a Walther?

However if you really want a nice .380, find the Browning BDA .380 (discontinued). It's practically the same gun as a 92F and holds 13 rounds. I'm contemplating (again) selling mine.

Hero Gear has had .380 ammo at regular prices. I've also seen it elsewhere.

I may have to make a trip to Hero Gear then. Up this way I can't find it anywhere at "regular" Prices. I find some every once in a while at Academy.

Saw the P380 on Handguns on TV no sightings in stores yet in my area
