- In a previous article, emory!wa4mei!chrise@gatech.edu (Chris England) says:
-
- I tried one out at the range. I liked it quite a bit. It
- felt lighter than the Walther PPK/S, and seemed well made, with a
- dull nickel plate finish and wood grips. Unlike the Walther, with
- their weird trigger gaurd removal takedown, this gun took down with
- a frame side lever like a SIG or Astra .45 or 9mm. It didn't kick
- too bad, about like a 9mm in a normal sized gun.
-
- #Also, if anyone has any info on where/from whom I can purchase after-
- #market grips, etc. (for the above) it would be greatly appreciated.
- Eagle Imports, 908-531-8375.
- #Let's also open a discussion about the relative power of .380's
- #I've punched paper with mine, but hav'nt put it to any ballistics
- #tests yet. Any ballistics experiences, or advice on retail ammo
- #(grain, etc.) would also be greatly appreciated.
-
- ~95 gr at ~850-900 fps. ~180 ft-lbs. Better than .22 or .32,
- but wimpier than anything else (except for that one cursed caliber
- which deserves no mention: .25 acp).
