Zing 2 #11 October 10, 2007 Its a nice little plinker, for close range. Mine's a .380 caliber. Takes me a few rounds to get proficient again at anything over 20 feet if I haven't been plinking regularly. Did you know that in Ian Flemings' books, Bond carried a .25 caliber Berretta, later changing to a 9 mm, but I don't think it was a Walther. James Bond carried a Walther only in the movies. M forced Bond to switch weapons after his Berretta snagged in the home made chamois shoulder holster Bond used and was nearly killed by a kick to the shin from a poisoned spike concealed in the shoe of Blofeld's girlfriend.Zing Lurks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #12 October 10, 2007 I had one for about 20 years. Found it worked best with Winchester Silvertip JHP's as it never had the energy to reliably expand anything else. Overpenetration can still be an issue at close range with FMJ's. Shot one made by Manhurin this past weekend and managed to hit a 1l Coke bottle at 90m 1 time out of 7. The rest were within a foot or so. The same sights that make that possible are small and difficult to pick up in a hurry or darkness, so as with all small calibers, practice, practice, practice! Great gun. Small, clean, simple, reliable, classic. Congratulations! tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
