1. Yes, Blake, and it's the gun Hitler blew his brains out with . . .

Is that the attraction?

3. Hitler's (and Bond's) PPK was in .32 ACP. Apparently that mouse calibre

was too much for Masters. And then he puts on a silencer!?

2. Is he Norman Bates' cousin, perhaps?

4. I'm now on day 16 after deactivating my twitter acount.

It will be deleted if I do not reactivate by 11/25. So the downside is I can't read any tweets. However so far imo it has been worth it. I don't . Among my reasons is the callous way Musk deals with people. He has no respect for his employees or those who don't kiss his ring. It is my understanding is that he wants to turn twitter into a one stop 'online shop " that will include money sharing between use something like venmo that will allow the funds to be transferred vetween members abd possibly for purchasing and or charging for content and shopping etc. The guy is too thin skinned and narcissistically malignant for me too trust my personal data and financial data with. I suspect that I am going to let my account be deleted on the 25th.

7. Yes, I'll admit it

I have wanted one since childhood but researched it and bought better ones. Accuracy trumps style.

8. Happiness is a warm gun, apparently.

9. What a totally trashed, blighted landscape.

Not that this jerk would know or care.

11. If he's "wanted one since [he] was a little kid ..."

... then he's younger than he looks; the PPK in .22LR was introduced in 2013, just for those who want the "Bond gun" but want it for plinking with cheap ammo.

Unlike the milled all-steel construction of the .32 and .380 versions, the frame and slide of the .22 are made of a cast zinc alloy -- in other words, it's a cheap, pale imitation of the iconic PPK.

Chump.

12. Not much taste in guns, I see

The Walther PPK is not a great pistol. It's too fucking heavy and its ergonomics are terrible - and it's one of the most expensive guns on the market. You are WAY better off with a Beretta or SIG Sauer...maybe an H&K if you really like to spend money.
