I am thinking of picking up a smaller automatic pistol than my 1911, and I am leaning towards a PPK in .380. Anyone have any experience with Walthers? The only one I have ever messed with was an uncle's P38 years and years ago.
FYI: I took a peak at the Springfield and this jumped out from August 2013:
Begin Press Release
Springfield Armory® is initiating this voluntary safety recall to upgrade 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols with new components, which eliminate the possibility of a potentially dangerous condition. We want to emphasize that no injuries have been reported to date.
Springfield has determined that under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-Sâ„¢ 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading process when the slide is released, or could experience a double-fire when the trigger is pulled once. The chance of these conditions existing is exceptionally rare, but if they happen, serious injury or death could occur.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
STOP USING YOUR 3.3 XD-Sâ„¢ 9mm or .45ACP PISTOL AND CAREFULLY UNLOAD IT!
My handgun is a Colt Police Positive 32-20, thanks Dad.
now an AMT, just because of size. .

It may be heavier than a poly one but it isn't an inconvenience..
