Barrel Length, close enough (.2” won’t matter in the long run).
Now, let’s mark off the ones that are either the same or so close as to not make much of a difference.Ĭaliber, same. So I set out to compare the PPK to the G42 to see how the new comer (G42) would stack up.įirst up, the specifications so we have a basis for discussion: Having been around since 1931 (83 years!) and being very well known as the preferred weapon of James Bond, I felt like the PPK had been well vetted and accepted as a reliable, well designed. 380ACP design? The one I settled on was the Walther PPK. 380ACP designs, but what’s the most “mature”. Remembering that I wondered, what would the G42 be compared to? Since the Beretta 92F and the S&W double stack 9mms were the “standards” at the time, they were what the G17 often was compared to. “It’s too blocky.” “There’s no safety (from the ignorant).” “It’s plastic (from the more ignorant).” Then there were those who loved the capacity, the same trigger pull every time (even if they increased the weight of it) and the rugged durable performance. I remember the same sentiments rolling through the industry when the Glock Model 17 (G17) 9mm was released. It seems as if we, in the firearms industry, have found another “you either love it or hate it” design. 380ACP, I’ve seen both positive and negative comments about it. Since the announcement of the release of the new Glock Model 42 (G42) in.
