    Downsizing - which would you keep?

    Due to finances I'm downsizing my gun collection. Here is my question:

    I have two "deep concealment" type guns. One is a 1980's vintage PPK and another is a 5-shot SW 640 in.38. I'm more accurate with the PPK, but the .38 has better ballistics. Since I can only justify keeping one, I need to choose. Would like some input.

    Keep the PPK and sell the 640.

        Keep the one you handle the best, which in your case is the PPK. "Better ballistics" mean nothing if you don't hit your target. Also, there is some very good .380 ammo out there, assuming your PPK is that caliber.

          Sell me the PPK and I will give you visitation rights.

                PPK

                I say keep the PPK because you are more proficient with it. Like at least one other has said, the ammo available for the .380 these days is great. I wouldn't hesitate to use today's .380 ammo for self defense. The only turn off is the price of the ammo.

                  PPK for sure. I use the .380 reloaded Blaster ammo from Freedom Munitions for plinking. Pricing isn't too far off from Walmart prices for their 9mm Fed ammo. I just make a huge bulk order with my little bro and other shooting buddies to share in the shipping expenses.

                      PPK. Better ballistics don't mean squat if you're not accurate.

                            Based on what you said, I'd keep the PPK.

                              Thanks all for the input. I was leaning towards the PPK anyway, but it was nice to get a little feedback. As for winnre... Nice try :-)
