Loved my 84F. Drop dead accurate out of the box. Traded a Walther PPK in for it. The PPK was worthless. It was brand new and would stove pipe every 2-3 rounds, plus it only held 7 rounds. Took it to several gunsmiths and they couldn’t correct the problem. And that was shooting quality ammunition

Common for PPK and PPK/S.

The initial model (PP) was designed around the 32 ACP cartridge. The 380 ACP is too large in diameter, and has the wrong taper, curvature, and surface intersection angles. No one can make them feed every time.
