I figure I’ll have to buy a second gun for some carry situations ... I live in Houston and thus can’t bundle up much. I’m inclined toward the Wather PPK for carrying in hot weather — but want something with a little more kick for training.

The HK Compact line seems small enough to carry between September and April around here. I’ll probably still need a summer gun, though.

The Walther PPK/S in .380 (9mm kurz) kicks like a Missouri mule.

It's that old weight-versus-muzzle energy problem.

It kicks worse than my Colt Officer's Model in .45 ACP.

The little KelTec .380 pocket pistol is even worse, unlikely as that seems. You'll get only one shot off unless you can hang on! Be sure to only put one round in the magazine the first time you shoot it.

I carry the Walther in the summertime because you don't know the meaning of "print" until you've seen a 1911 under a lightweight linen jacket!
