LOL!
Yeah, it’s strictly a close quarters weapon. The .380 (9 mm short) round doesn’t pack much of a punch either. But you can get six in the mag, and one in the chamber. If you make enough holes, blood pressure should drop quickly enough for the enemy to lose consciousness.
So, were your eyes closed? Or because the safety was on? Are you blaming the gun or the operator? :)
There was somthing wrong with it. I have a PPK clone from Hungary that I paid 135 dollars for and I was simply amazed by the accuracy. I think it has something to do with the barrel attached to the frame.
It’s also not a beginners firearm. The blowback design produces a nasty sharp recoil.
I have owned a bunch of Walther PP, PPK, and PPKs pistols as well as a TPh. They all are extremely accurate tho a couple of them in .22LR were prone to jam, but then others were totally reliable.
I bought a cheap Hungarian .22 and was surprised that it was about as accurate as the Walther and more reliable. Since then bought another in .380 and it is the same.
These little .22s do take a bit more care in shooting due to their short sight radius but they are usually very accurate inherently.
Now that I think about it, the most accurate PP style pistol I ever owned was a Russian Makarov in 9mm Mak. It would basically put every round into one slightly enlarged hole at around 30 feet and keep doing it as long as I was really careful.
