Walther’s New PPK: What Is Old Is New Again

{ 65 comments }

Whether the year was 1929 or 1931 – sources vary – it was nearly a century ago when Walther introduced the PPK. It was a revolutionary design at the time because of its double-action trigger and its safety which also decocked the gun.

Snake gun, truck gun, survival gun, anti-bear gun, and zombie killer. That’s a lot of gun in a small package.

10mm Gets Sophisticated… New SIG Legion P220 SAO

Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review

{ 21 comments }

The Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO ran several hundred rounds in our test with zero malfunctions, and its roughly 44 ounce stainless frame makes full power 10mm feel mild. Justin Opinion kept groups inside three inches offhand at 11 yards, and it did better from a rest at 20 yards. The gripes are short: no [...]

For a price as cheap as $337 on the open market, I have to call this one of the best values I’ve seen. I started skeptically, but the K2 has certainly won me over. This is a bargain, that I can highly recommend.

We are truly living in the golden age of handguns, as this week’s test model will attest. My test model is the 509C or compact. While I usually prefer to get my hands on the full-sized model first, the 509C brings everything I like in a pistol to the table.

This is a powerful package that carries 20 rounds of 5.7×28 and puts minimal strain on the hip of the person that has to carry it.
