My wife has a PK390 which we purchased in (+/-) 2012, and we've never experienced any problems with it. Perhaps it's your ammo and/or your technique. In watching your video, I saw several safety violations, so I suspect you'd benefit from taking a class in ccw.
I shoot one for nearly 3 years, around 2000 rounds. Never have such an issue. So you may have bad luck or using really bad ammo... it’s certainly not a great gun, but definitely not a junk. Good cancel carry.
I’ve got a few Walthers myself, including the pk380. So far, all have worked well. My understanding is that Walther will service your pistol, no charge. Admittedly, it feels a bit cheap to an experienced shooter, but mine has been 100% reliable for the past three years I’ve had it. Sorry for your bad fortune with the pistol. Best wishes in the future.
first off your damaging your ejector by setting a bullet in the chamber and dropping it onto the bullet. it's designed to feed from the magazine and slide up underneath the ejector. pk380 is a great gun just wish there were after market sights for it.
The problem with the Walther PK380 is it does not silver casing rounds it will fire flawlessly with brass casing rounds had this problem with mine switched ammo never had another problem
My wife has a PK380 and between us both, we've put over 500rds through it and never had a problem. I just fixed the only 'problem' I've ever had with it - putting that stupid rod guide/spring assembly back in after cleaning. Galloway Precision sells a captured guide/rod spring assembly - reassembly is no long a battle.
I have owned a Walther PK380 for about 6yrs, couple thousand rounds down range. Never a jam, I did however have a few failures to fire with one kind of ammo, it was the Russian 380 steel case.
I have a PK380 and I've found that if it's cleaned every time you shoot it runs fine ... the barrel from my experience gets a lot of build up and FTE ...So, I clean mine every time after I go to the range ..
Never had a problem with Walt her plus they have to shoot good ammo or they will jam up no cheap blazer shells gotta be brass and they are pretty dead on . Looks like that gun is just messed up lol old dirty hi-points don’t jam that much .
I wish mine hadn't been defective. I really loved the gun. It just jammed all the time. None of my other one's did, so I had to get rid of it. Too unreliable to carry. I got the PPS instead now. Much better gun, never jammed once on me.
@@frankrizzo367 I love the PPSM2. I was also considering the CCPM2, I wasn't digging the safety as much and I kinda like the multiple magazine options for the PPS. Plus the PPS kinda looks like a female version of my P99 and I LOVE the P99. I liked the CCP because it looks lime a female version of my PPQ and that's a great shooter. I'm still thinking about getting a CCP just for the hell of it. If for no other reason to test it against my PPS to see which I like best. I also want a PPK/S, but they never have them in stock nor at the distributor for my local gun store. Corona-Chan and the largely peaceful protests have pretty much made me think I'll never get one now.

Watch the other videos. I'm tired of you people watching this one single video then jumping to conclusions without doing your research before commenting. I'll be here when you get back to answer a real question that I haven't already addressed.
ruclips.net/video/p-pC1fcXBbw/видео.html Everyone likes to blame the grip but can't explain how every other gun I own has never malfunctioned despite my hands being the one constant and the firearms being the different variable. You need to only watch the first five minutes to see the extractor and chamber tolerances are the problem. Freedom Fighter 1776 had the same problem. Check out his video too.
@@HollywoodHornet i haven't had an issue with mine nor have the other 4 people who have shot it. If you have the bad one out of the bunch, maybe. To say it's unreliable and dangerous is a farce and that's why everyone points to your horrible grip between the both of you.
@@rolandvenne7419 it's a 50/50 split on reliability per the Walther forums. If out of those 50% of reliable ones, 100% of the videos on the internet are positive, I feel it's my duty to represent the other 50% of defective ones by being the 1% of videos showing their reliability record. Who's the real bad guy here? The one guy telling you this gun is not reliable and a little research backs me up? Or everyone else claiming the gun is super reliable, despite hours of readable testimonials to the contrary? Yours is reliable, mine was not. That's a 50/50 split right there. To say it's super reliable and super not gonna get you killed in a self-defense scenario is the real farce. One malfunction in a life or death shoot-out is something I think people should know about. Wasting your money on a defective gun like me, the original owner, and the new owner is something to consider as well, when there are other guns available with closer to 100% reliability.
@@HollywoodHornet if it was a 50/50 split, they wouldn't be selling. Your duty part is a great joke though. Research doesn't back up your claims either (damn that gun of the week part). While you may have some issues (which may not be solely your fault), posting a video with bad technique doesn't help your case in saying it's a horrible gun. The part where the woman with you handles a gun the way she does and you continue to let her shoot shows how little training and weapons safety you both have.

Mine has never had an issue. I probably wouldn’t recommend it because some of the controls are weird, but it has never malfunctioned. I recently purchased a captured recoil spring. It’s easy to lose the one that comes with when you clean the gun. You got a lemon and they ought to fix it or replace it.
They attempted two repairs. Repair two they replaced the entire slide and innards. It still malfunctions, so I sold it to the gun shop for a whopping $125.
Mine had major problems with Winchester white box and ammo with flat nosed rounds. I found it fires fiocchi w/o issue and that’s all I use in it now. I think it has to do with rounds that are squared or flat nosed vs. rounded.
Funny, my PK has never once failed me. Pronouncing a weapon dangerous and unreliable based on one example you’ve never fired before is terribly irresponsible.
I've put probably about 5-600 rounds through my pk380. It's jammed on me twice. Once while breaking in because (admittedly and embarrassingly) I forgot to oil it up. The second time again I forgot to oil it up and used cheap steel casing rounds. Since have not had any issues. It's been great weapon to me, sorry you didn't have great luck with yours.
Bought this pistol for my daughter more than 10 years ago and this was what she used to qualify for CCL. Never had a FTF with any branded brass ammo that we used. This morning she tried my Sig P365 and SF Hellcat RDP and she was unable to rack the slide- small hands, weak grip. When she got to the PK380 it was easy for her rack. Too bad as I was going to give her the Sig P365. For her its either this or a revolver. I did replace the spring with the Galloway Precision spring guide rod 3 years ago and this had made it easier for her to reassemble the pistol and rack it.
Never had a failure to feed, fire or eject with my pk380, but then again, I do my cleaning and lube between every session. Here is some advise, get a small bottle of CLP spray, open the slide and spay the inside once or twice, it's what the military police do at every range session and it works. Had a guy next to me having the same issue as you with a CZ75 clone, gave him some CLP and problem solved.
I have one of these, and like the gun, but would never carry it. It's easy to set the safety while racking the slide, and goes opposite way of my other guns' safeties. While the light slide pull is nice, it sometimes fails to return to battery. A slight whack on back fixes that, but I fear it can fire out of battery, if not careful. A spring kit would definitely improve this gun.
If I have a complaint, other then the spring from hell which I replaced with a stainless capped spring rod, is the necessity to "push up" on the safety. It is so foreign from my experience that it is kind of disconcerting, but it's a comfortable pistol to carry IMO. And re the video, ammo plays a TREMENDOUS part in jams, misfires, etc. Probably more than the firearm.
Ive had one for 3 years and have had literally not one problem or failure and i carry this gun daily sometimes throwing it in a bag that i keep snacks in... so imagine the crumbs... i always expect a failure but still to this day never had a problem
Yes. I obviously have never disassembled it and cleaned it...even though I do that with every gun after every shoot. Obviously you weren't in the room with me when I did or obviously you wouldn't have made such an obviously stupid statement for everyone to read on the internet. Obviously.
Mine works flawlessly. Of course.....I don't shoot steel and then brass after. And for Gods Sake.....practice some fucking range safety and quit waving the gun all over the damn place.
I have a pk380 for my wife to shoot at the range. I will certainly admit that the fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired, and the trigger is nothing to brag about, but it always goes bang. It is made by Umarex on Walther's behalf to keep costs low. Which isnt a good business choice in my opinion because it can tarnish a good name. Real deal Walthers though, which I also own, are top notch in every regard. Also, loading a single round like that is no bueno. Rack it in from the mag, then top it off. And your teacup grip. This stuff makes it apparent that you are not well versed in handguns.
Maybe you should put down your purse and hold the pistol the way a pistol should be held, spaghetti wrists. I've run several boxes of various solid-points through mine, including a box of that cheap steel-case Tulammo through it. Not one malfunction. Walther does not manufacture garbage. Four times as many dislikes than likes. Think about that. Oh, and tell Karen behind the camera to be quiet.
@@edwardnonymous6804 Far from my first video and even further from my first PK380 and other firearm video. I get all you boomers think this is my first day on the job and I've never fired a gun. I get you all think there's no possible way that gun can be defective. I get you all think it must be my technique and everyone up the chain of command failed to teach proper firearms marksmanship. Open your mind and think "maybe it's the gun. Maybe it isn't a coincidence that out of the thousands of rounds this man has fired, and out the the dozens of guns he's fired, the one gun that jams is this one. Maybe it's the gun." Is it more likely that every other gun I've ever fired was manufactured correctly and the PK380 is defective? Or is it more likely that I just suck at shooting one gun but can fire all other guns properly?
we went to the range yesterday.. my GF has this gun.. pretty much the same performance as seen here... her ex-husband (deceased) left her with a good collection of firearms, among them, a sweet little Taurus ported .357... this will become her EDC... personally, I don't trust autos... I carry 2 revolvers & a Mossberg... old school for me :) jmo
I bought a brand new...BRAND NEW Mossberg 12 ga. The MILITARY MODEL. WHAT THE ARMY USES. Shot it once and it jammed on cycling. I had to send it TOO THE FREAKING FACTORY to get it fixed. I sold it the day I got it back. But that doesn't make EVERY Mossberg 12 ga. of that model trash. Shit happens. I'm not sure you should have a firearm. You panic too quickly.
Not even a little bit. I already filmed multiple videos on the issue and the resolution. Feel free to watch them. Or if you want the TLDR version, the gun was improperly manufactured. Way out of spec.
I made another video where I shaved down the extractor. That helped reduce failure to ejects, but didn't solve it. It was sent back to Walther before I owned it for the same issue. I sent it again after the filing only helped. When I came back, it still failed to eject so I sold it for $125.00. Sucks to be the new owner. It isn't you is it?
@@lui-24merica63 if you do, let me know. I really liked the gun otherwise. Had it worked, I'd have kept it. It was like a female version of my P99. I sold it and bought a Walther PPS to replace it. It's like a female version of my PPQ and I love it. I'd recommend the PPS should you sell that PK380.
I could just imagine an out of towner needing gas and pulling off 70 and ending up at murder mobile, what a disgraceful embarrassment to my city. I'm a south side state streeter but nothing compares to murder mobile. Stay safe.

@@dalt1340 it was the only gun I've ever had that jammed. A shame cuz it was a good looking gun. It was the only .380 I've ever fired that didn't have the recoil of a .357 magnum. I traded it for a Walther PPS, and am very happy with it. Not one misfire from it. I'm hoping my new PDP and PPK are just as reliable as my PPS, PPQ and P99.
“Pk380 is unreliable” as he shoots it with the safety on and his 220 lbs build is slamming the magazine into the well multiple times when the gun weighs as much as a potato chip. If you limp wrist the gun it will fail to feed. So much going wrong in this video
Ive not gotten to shoot mine yet. I cannot find ammo to get a chance to shoot! Thanks BIDEN! If anyone can help with my issue, and lives around Kentucky, tenessee area, plz let me know loo
I am obese like you are,my hands are crippled too..the weak pathetic strength we both posses causes pistol to flop uncontroablly in our hands..i got a b.b gun it is not easy..but with a two handed white knuckle death grip it is managable. my wife is obnoxious too..
Yeah, WE cant hear you either. Dud you watch this before you posted. With a name like "HollywoodHornet" you'da thought you coulda done better. Although this is what people have come to expect from Hollywood. I have several handguns, both auto and wheel guns and I like this Walther. I haven't had issues more pronounced that any other firearm. I did have a bad water pump on a '69 Camaro once, so FER GOD'S SAKES DON'T BUY A CHEVROLET 'CAUSE THEY'LL KILL YOU. Geez, freak out much?
Cars aren't generally used as self-defense items so comparing a water pump that is a maintenance item to a firearm used to save your life is like comparing apples to oranges. I can't recommend a firearm that has been sent to Walther 3 times for service that still comes back broken and unreliable every time...because having a false sense of security and trusting your life to a weapon that is unreliable will kill you unlike a worn out water pump.
probably from your dirt cheap ammo. thats why mine jams up

Open your mind and think "maybe it's the gun. Maybe it isn't a coincidence that out of the thousands of rounds this man has fired, and out the the dozens of guns he's fired, the one gun that jams is this one. Maybe it's the gun."
Is it more likely that every other gun I've ever fired was manufactured correctly and the PK380 is defective? Or is it more likely that I just suck at shooting one gun but can fire all other guns properly?
Well your assumption is wrong. I never once thought of you as a man.
@@edwardnonymous6804 did you just assume my gender? There is no room for your bigotry on this platform, boomer.
Mine’s never done that.
Let me guess, old .380 Tul rounds.
Cheap ammo .
we went to the range yesterday.. my GF has this gun.. pretty much the same performance as seen here... her ex-husband (deceased) left her with a good collection of firearms, among them, a sweet little Taurus ported .357... this will become her EDC... personally, I don't trust autos... I carry 2 revolvers & a Mossberg... old school for me :) jmo
I bought a brand new...BRAND NEW Mossberg 12 ga. The MILITARY MODEL. WHAT THE ARMY USES. Shot it once and it jammed on cycling. I had to send it TOO THE FREAKING FACTORY to get it fixed. I sold it the day I got it back. But that doesn't make EVERY Mossberg 12 ga. of that model trash. Shit happens. I'm not sure you should have a firearm. You panic too quickly.
Never had a problem out of mine. Must be your shitty ammo
Not even a little bit. I already filmed multiple videos on the issue and the resolution. Feel free to watch them. Or if you want the TLDR version, the gun was improperly manufactured. Way out of spec.
just got one and I already have problems with ejection.
any solutions for this?
I made another video where I shaved down the extractor. That helped reduce failure to ejects, but didn't solve it. It was sent back to Walther before I owned it for the same issue. I sent it again after the filing only helped. When I came back, it still failed to eject so I sold it for $125.00. Sucks to be the new owner. It isn't you is it?
@@HollywoodHornet don't tell me that, I really want this gun to work 😫😩😤😭
@@lui-24merica63 if you do, let me know. I really liked the gun otherwise. Had it worked, I'd have kept it. It was like a female version of my P99. I sold it and bought a Walther PPS to replace it. It's like a female version of my PPQ and I love it. I'd recommend the PPS should you sell that PK380.
@@HollywoodHornet ok, thank you
don't use cheap ammo and take a gun training course
Good to know Matt !!!! Heading out to St Charles again today ... Have a keed free day !!! One got their batwings yesterday ..
Thanks buddy, you too! I'll have keed full Saturday night at Murder Mobil. Maybe I'll get some good body cam footage. Drink one for me.
@@HollywoodHornet I will definitely drink one for you .. can u share where that mobil is ??? I cant imagine doing that
I could just imagine an out of towner needing gas and pulling off 70 and ending up at murder mobile, what a disgraceful embarrassment to my city. I'm a south side state streeter but nothing compares to murder mobile.
Stay safe.
@@catfishjenkem2226 Murder Mobil is the codename given to the Gulf Gas Station at Goodfellow and Natural Bridge. It's where all the Kool Keeds hang out on the weekend. Stop there for gas and you have about a 40% change of catching either a stray or intentional lead enema. Place is brutal, yo.
@@HollywoodHornet Thanks Matt I was there one time long ago doing work . Insane
Got my pk380 from my dad he lost in in a field for a year and plowed over it and it still shoots fine. Looks like shit tho😂
hey! i know this is 5 years late but mine has worked flawlessly im sorry you had a bad experience with this handgun it must be a lemon
@@dalt1340 it was the only gun I've ever had that jammed. A shame cuz it was a good looking gun. It was the only .380 I've ever fired that didn't have the recoil of a .357 magnum. I traded it for a Walther PPS, and am very happy with it. Not one misfire from it. I'm hoping my new PDP and PPK are just as reliable as my PPS, PPQ and P99.
“Pk380 is unreliable” as he shoots it with the safety on and his 220 lbs build is slamming the magazine into the well multiple times when the gun weighs as much as a potato chip. If you limp wrist the gun it will fail to feed. So much going wrong in this video
My experience exactly.
Using bad ammo most likely
I've had no problems with mine
Ive not gotten to shoot mine yet. I cannot find ammo to get a chance to shoot! Thanks BIDEN! If anyone can help with my issue, and lives around Kentucky, tenessee area, plz let me know loo
It’s the ammo 😂it’s not the gun
It's not the pk380 it's your pk380 that is the issue. Yah hate to see it but dud firearms do make their way out. Tho it's rare it does happen.
I am obese like you are,my hands are crippled too..the weak pathetic strength we both posses causes pistol to flop uncontroablly in our hands..i got a b.b gun it is not easy..but with a two handed white knuckle death grip it is managable. my wife is obnoxious too..
The Walther PK380 I bought is definitely unreliable. Extremely disappointed with it. Will never buy another firearm from Walther.
Yeah, WE cant hear you either. Dud you watch this before you posted. With a name like "HollywoodHornet" you'da thought you coulda done better. Although this is what people have come to expect from Hollywood. I have several handguns, both auto and wheel guns and I like this Walther. I haven't had issues more pronounced that any other firearm. I did have a bad water pump on a '69 Camaro once, so FER GOD'S SAKES DON'T BUY A CHEVROLET 'CAUSE THEY'LL KILL YOU. Geez, freak out much?
Cars aren't generally used as self-defense items so comparing a water pump that is a maintenance item to a firearm used to save your life is like comparing apples to oranges.
I can't recommend a firearm that has been sent to Walther 3 times for service that still comes back broken and unreliable every time...because having a false sense of security and trusting your life to a weapon that is unreliable will kill you unlike a worn out water pump.
Pretty sure this is the worst video ever
Nah, it's just you.
