Just wanted to share that pic with ya since I heard ya mention the P99. The ppk in the pic belongs to a friend who's Father brought it back from Europe during ww2. It is a very sweet shooting little pistol.

I am very much enjoying all this informative discussion regarding Sig vs. glock, or .40cal vs.9mm....but my favorite gun is the one which is closest to me when I need it...; ^ )>

Sweet! That's before they changed the barrel for the American market. A little holster wear on the muzzle, but it looks like it's in prime condition for its vintage! (I haven't got any unused firearms ... I keep no cats that catch no mice!)

I have always felt that the recoil in the PPK/S was unpleasant compared to my .45s . . . a function of the lighter weight of the pistol itself, I'm sure. Of course, there's something to be said for the old dinosaurs like my .455 Webley Mark VI -- when you run out of ammo you can knock your adversary cold with the thing. It must weigh 3 pounds empty. As a result it has no recoil, so you wouldn't know you had fired it (except for the 2 foot jet of orange flame at the muzzle, the flames jetting out sideways from the forcing cone, and the very loud BOOM! Talk about turning heads at the range . . . somebody down the line yelled, "Is that a Casull?" I was flattered. I think.)
