I think you will find several people on the board either have one or have owned one in the past. My wife has one as her EDC and it's a nice, recoil free handgun. Only downsides are that the mags are expensive and hard to find and the PITA tool needed to take it down.

My Pk380 is first gun I ever bought new. It is also my current EDC. I bought it because it fit my hand so well. I shoot left handed. The ambidextrous safety and mag release were very intuitive for me.

At first it was not the most accurate gun, but that did not bother me since it was intended as a close up protection arm. It has gotten far better. After break in, about 250 rounds through it, the operation started to smooth and accuracy went up. I am now about 400 rounds and it is very dependable and predictable.

I am a slender framed man and the pk380 is easily concealed. When I carry OWB it does not get in the way. In a shoulder rig or belly band it is hardly noticeable by me.

I did have a issue for warranty repair. I had the storage lock on and it jammed with the trigger. While trying to free the lock the plastic trigger broke. I no longer use that lock. It was repaired with no fuss. My gun has not liked blazer ammo, but anything else I have tried has fed fine.

Shoot it often, carry it carefully, and enjoy your new Walther.

we have one, and if I'm not CC'ing it my wife is.....I hate the stupid take down tool, and the PITA spring and guide rod assembly....other than that it's a great and accurate little weapon...
