Picked up both of these 380s on the classifieds here - the Interarms Walther PPK/S last year and the Glock 42 a few weeks ago.
Shot these two targets last weekend - 30 rounds each target at distance of 7 yards from a standing position. The Glock target has 10 Remington 95 FMJ and 20 Aguila 95 FMJ. The Walther has 30 rounds of Federal 95 FMJ.

I don't see open sights like I used to but I do see the Glock sights better than the Walther. The SA trigger on the Walther has some creep although the actual pull weight is not that bad. The Glock has no grit , creep or drag - just a nice crisp break but sure does not feel anywhere near the advertised 5.5lbs.
The week prior to this range session I had the Glock out for the first time and all was well with 40 rounds of the Remington and 10 rounds of Hornady 90 XTPs. But when shooting the Federal 95 FMJ I had 3 malfunctions in 10 rounds and called it quits. The Walther shot the remainder of the 40 Federal rounds last weekend with no problem. The seller assured me the Glock was made with all the fixes so I was disappointed to have FTF , FTE especially with factory FMJ ammo.
So just by virtue of the Walther being totally reliable with everything I have ever tried in it - factory or reloads, it wins and is the one I sometimes carry.
