I wish Walther made a 9mm in the same size as the PK380.


----------------------------------------

Isn't a "380" just a short version of a 9mm round?

My PPK/S is stamped ".9mm - 380 ACP"

Some info on that question:

http://thefiringline.com/forums/arch...?t-102195.html

Looking at this picture, it appears that only '.380' is stamped on the barrel. Does yours have both
calibers stamped on the barrel? I don't think I've ever seen that.

However, this picture does show "9mm kurz/.380 ACP" 'Kurz' is German for 'short', so that's where
the confusion lies.

I thought for sure you'd have the James Bond Walther. :)

It sucks to be you - weather, that is!

Nice boat! Hope you thaw out soon :-)

And since today is a nice, bright, sunny day, I may have to take the Guzzi down to the gun show in
Fredericksburg and see how many non-dealer, unlicensed dealer dealers I can spot out behind the
woodshed.

Actually, my wife wants a smaller pistol. Might try to find a more compact 9mm.


Be sure and jump through the "loophole!"

PS
Seriously consider a .380 for the little woman. My DIL just got one
and loves it. She isn't that girly, but KAHR and Taurus both make a
pink model.

Kahr makes a 9mm smaller than the ppk and many other 380's

And is certainly made for the (much) smaller hand. It hurts like hell
to shoot, if it fits in your hand like a derringer.


Pretty expensive too... almost 800 from what I saw.

Nice little fish & ski. Why did you get the Big Foot? They are for

trolling larger boats, sailboats, and pontoons, right? Are your seats

really black?



Both dealer and manufacturer recommended the 60 Big Foot. They claim it's the most popular outboard for my boat.
I've read other articles that also recommend this motor for wide stern boats... and mine does look wide for a 16.5 footer. Kicks up quite a wake at low speeds.
I suppose it provides low end power to get a water skiier up and going

I had a 60 big foot on my boat for 10 years, 3075 hours and it was a
good motor. My 70 Yamaha is basically the same with the same prop. (I
moved it over). I would have bought another 60 Merc but that China
thing bothered me.

What makes a "big foot" a big foot as opposed to just a 60 Merc?

See the new RAV4's... if they had kept the V6, I'd be driving one now.
Instead I have to negotiate for a Highlander.

You shouldn't take everything a salesman says as gospel. You bought a

Rav 4 truck from a salesman, remember?

I got the extra 2 year warranty due to a time limited promotion last year.
Motor came with 3 year warranty... so now I have 5 years.
Trouble is...the extra 2 years only covers mechanical... not electrical.
If I want the 'Platinum Plan' to cover electrical too for the additional 2 years i have to pay about $110.00 by May 31.

There's only a couple of dip****s in my filter. He's one of them, down

The lower end is bigger...same one as in the next size up 75 or 90.
Also had a bigger flatter type prop. Very noticible if you put the regular 60 and the Big Foot side by side...
Mine makes my brother-in-laws 50 Honda seem puny.
