Hey Pros I need some info. My wife borrowed a friends PPK/S and we took it to the range.
A nice weapon but I have one problem with it.
I noticed the gun jerks back in a flat,horizontal manner when fired. This is different from the guns I fired in which the
recoil comes in the form of the muzzle rising.
Because of this my wife and I noticed that the gun "bites" the web of our hand. That skin in between the thumb and the pointerfinger. This nuisance happens after just two full clips.
Is this the usual manner the PPK/S behaves? Or is it our fault, such as having the wrong grip or something. Or are all .380s this way due to the nature of the bullet having this distinctive kick. Other than wearing a shooting glove is there anyway to remedy this such as replacing the grips or something?
The same complaint came from the owner of the gun. The gun has not been modified in any way.
Thanks for the help professionals!
