Just ordered Walther PK380 and did so because:
1. It is ambidextrous and I am left handed
2. Reviews I read said it has least recoil of all the .380 s
3. Still small enough for concealed carry
4. Slide very easy to operate and some of my hand strength seems to have disappeared a few years ago.
Main disadvantage is that you have to use a key-like tool for takedown.

You need to show that one to me when it comes in.

Be glad to show it to you.

Thanks.

Finally made it to the range today with the PK380. I am super pleased. Shot two different 95 grain Winchesters and both worked just fine. Really liked the trigger pull on this much better than the FNX-9 I was used to shooting. Had a couple of fail to eject but hoping that will go away when the gun has a few more rounds through it

i already bought my "what to buy next" at last week's gun show . I bought a 5" Colt Government in a 38 super. If I ever make it out of the dog house, that will be sweet shooting gun (I had to run by the range and burn a box of ammo while i was going to the grocery store) My sweetest shooting gun NIB. More to come.

Do you need it to be a particular size, or just looking for a single stack 9mm?

If size isnt an issue, the new Springfield Range Officer in 9mm is probably worth a look. But then you can also check out some offerings from STI in a similar price range.

I like my CM9, but find that I like it a lot more with a Pierce pinky extension, which had me thinking that the CW9 might be a more realistic choice, if starting over, even if looking for a concealable choice.
But a Shield or PPS would be pretty high on the list to, and I really like the XDs 4" version, I just have a personal thing with the XD lineup...

I know you said single stack but you really need a 17 or 34 if you have the 19 and 26.
