It's almost fathers day and my wife said my gift is I can go get another gun. :D I told her I would try to keep it down to one new one a year. So I was looking at one of the two (Glock 30 or Walter ppk) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It will be used primarily at the range. I curently have a 2 glocks in 9mm and a 1911 in 45.
 
I have a 1911 and a G30. I don't know about the PPK; but the G30 is a rock solid piece of mechanical perfection. Its trigger is not as nice as a 1911 (what is) - but for DA it's sweet and it's indestructible (I can't feel as comfortable being rough with other guns).

Look on Glockmeister or other online parts dealer - spares for the G30 cost about $2 each (except for the slide and barrel and receiver, you can get most other parts/springs/bits in a pack for $30).

Kind of like choosing between a brand new Cannodale Jeckyll Mountain Bike or a Beef Wellington meal in London; costs the same but completely different. I would go with the ppk only because you have Glocks already. Since it will be a whole year until another purchase, get a toy.
 
ppk.

classy.

sleek.

no less than a million accessories available.

dress it up and take it out.

shoot 5 shot groups into a thimble at 15 feet.

take pictures of it.

pay no attention to the nay-sayers...

ppk's are known to be finicky with ammo, so sometimes not as reliable. Glock 30 eats everything. Hopes this helps
 
If the ppk is of German manufacture it should be a fine shooter. If it was made here you need to test it out before buying.
(i've owned three of em...)
Have you concidered a Kill-tec?
 
On another note it seems that the production of ppk pistolas in this country and abroad will/has ceased for the time being...maybe it is time to stock up? :)
 
How about a Walther clone like the FegPa63 and a used G30. Could get two toys for close to the same price as a new G30. The 3 factory refurbished G19s that my friends and I bought were in great shape and has not given us any problems. I'm pretty sure there are vg condition used G30s that you would get your approval.
 
Isn't that Walther in .32 or .380? Why pay $10 a box a ammo for those rounds. I'd still to the majors 9, 40, 45.

For the money and the collection, the Glock 30 is a must have if you love Glocks.

It's reported to be the most accurate glock of all. That should be enough for you.

But the question is can you find a Glock 30 for sale in your market? Lots of people are having trouble even finding one by bricks or clicks to buy.

Good luck.

My wife is buying me a Dremel tool.

If you don't have a Walther in your collection a German made would make a nice classy addition. check with Earl's in Mass. he has them. :)

A pre-InterArms German import PPK in NIB condition is one of the finest guns you will ever have. Earls Repair Service in Tewksbury, MA at 978-851-2656, fax at 978-851-9642, or email at waltherusa@mediaone.net will get you in touch with the Walther man. He has a LOT of guns & parts. I just got a part for one of my Walther GSPs from him and it was in stock.

The Glock 30 is nice - I have 2. They are incredibly accurate. If you can get a pre-fingerprint model, go for it.
 
There haven't been any German Walthers since WWII. Walther was in what became the East Zone. Current Walthers have atrocious triggers, in my experience, and a weak cartridge, which is why most .380's are blowback. I'd go with the thirty, since you want a range pistol. It's superbly accurate, easy to work on, and shoots nearly anything you can stuff in the chamber. And, if you ever get in a sticky situation, the 45 will do what needs done much more effectively.
