ammunition recommendations, or maybe another pistol recommendation,
must be lightweight, low to mild recoil, and well built.

Ammo -

Precision One 90 grain HP/XTP
Federal Premium Hydra-Shock 90 grain JHP

Both work very well in my PPK.


I tell my students to use whatever ammo that they can hit a cantaloupe
at 25' every time (7 ring on paper). But your choices are good. Any
gun/ammo combination works well as long as you're comfortable and confident.

Well...not exactly true.....a 380 at 50 feet with FMJs...really isnt
what I want to be carrying for a sidearm.

But then..I dont have much use for 380s anyways, even with the new
wonder ammo. I think Id rather carry a .22lr than a 380s..but thats
just me.

The 380 is almost off the paper on the low end for a self defense
cartridge. Shrug
