A response to the person looking into a .380 auto --
I have an Manhurin/Interarms/Walther PPK/S (my hands are large, and the
extra shot is nice) -- out of the box, it is hesitant to feed
Silvertips (the primary load in this gun).

However, this can be fixed by light and CAREFUL polishing of the feed
ramp with sandpaper (or a dremel tool, if you have really steady hands).
Overall, I have heard nothing bad about the PPK/S (other than the little
thing does recoil more than you'd expect).

Colt Mustangs (at least around here) are less expensive than the 
PPK's (of all varieties).
