First extensive shooting of the 1938 Walther PP. 35-40 feet, PPU 71gr JHP and FMJ. Identical specs....900/128. 2 magazines at 3 targets JHP. No misfeeds, best group the last target. Fingerless mag shoots high. FMJ ball. 4 magazines/4 Magazines +6/4 magazines. Compensated for the finger-less magazine this time. One stovepipe/misfeed tie on magazine 13 of 19 Total. Did well on the 42 round middle target and got tired on the last one. I can live with 1 misfeed in ~160 rounds.

The SWC is my Buffalo Bore carry round. 75gr hard lead at 1100fps and 220ft-lbs (=average .38 special load). The unshot bright case is Speer JHP 60gr that I saved for another day.
Sweet, sweet pistol.
