This is the same process used by Glock on their pistols, which have shown to be extremely resistent to corrosion. The slide and barrel are both Tenifer coated, which give them superior corrosion resistance.  Other than these differences, the pistols are identical.  The third model is the basic P380 pistol with an externally mounted laser.

 The second model has a nickel finish, giving the gun a two-tone look.  One model is the basic version:  black frame with a black slide. There are currently three different models of the PK380 available. The pistols have an accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers.  An interesting feature on the slide stop is that it is internal, which prevents it from snagging on clothing, and makes for the unusual appearing slide release (refer to the photos on this page.)

 The mag release, safety and slide release on the Walther PK380 are all ambidextrous, making it left-handed friendly.

 The new Walther pistol does have a slide-mounted, manual safety. The magazine release is a paddle style instead of a push-button type.  A nice bonus is that the sights are made of steel instead of plastic.  The sight radius is a very useable 5.4″.  They are configured in a three-dot sight system.  Nine rounds is not a sure thing when it comes to stopping an attacker, but it is a darn sight better than the five rounds I carry in my J-frame revolver.Īs I suggested earlier, the sights on the Walther P380 are much more visible than you might expect on a compact handgun. The PK380 magazine will hold eight rounds, giving the shooter nine on tap before a reload.  By having a marginally larger size, the guns tend to be more reliable and can have features typically found on large handguns like a larger capacity and better sights.  Instead, the PK380 handguns are a little larger, which makes them easier to shoot. These Walther pistols are not the tiny, subcompact pistols like the Ruger LCP.  The gun is hammer fired, not striker fired as many modern polymer guns are.  It is a compact handgun with a polymer frame. 380 ACP handgun for sale and is based on the very popular P22.
