PPK/S

I have an older Manhurin PPK/S - a stainless one I picked up used back in the early 80s. It's had maybe 1000 rounds thru it since I got it, and while it's never choked a round (including hollowpoints of all sorts), the double-action trigger is still heavy and long. Single-action is fine - but you can't carry it cocked & locked, so the first round is always an issue. I used to carry it, but frankly my Glocks inspire more confidence so I seldom take it out anymore (and it IS quite heavy for it's size!)
On the plus side, anyone who's ever seen a James Bond movie knows what it is..(and wants to shoot it).
