Walther designed the PK380 as an easy-to-shoot compact in a mild caliber. This used example has a 3.7 inch barrel and an 8-round magazine, chambered in .380 ACP. The finish is black and silver.

The PK380 is a small pistol with a slide that is easy to rack. It has a double-action first pull and then a lighter single-action pull. It also has a decocker and a slide-mounted safety, so it has a more traditional layout than many modern pistols. A cleaning after each outing takes ten minutes and keeps the finish and the action in good order.

The .380 ACP round is gentle to shoot, which makes this pistol a pleasant range companion and a reasonable choice for a new shooter. The size is a good match for a belt holster. It is bigger than a pocket pistol but smaller than a full-size gun.

Try the slide and the trigger when it arrives. Check that the magazine seats well. Spare magazines are easy to find. It is sold used and as described. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
