Yeah, it is rather cool. Friend who got it is the same guy I mentioned briefly under the "Worst Gun Ever" post, towards the end. He got rid of the GSG 1911 .22 that wouldn't fire the Italian crap-ammo, and got the PP instead. Which I heartily approve of, for all sorts of different reasons.

Well, I've seen in in the sense that I knew it existed, and in pictures. I've never actually seen in in reality, though. Still, it seems like a fun gun as such. On the other hand, the PP isn't all that big but it was really nice to shoot even one-handed(dueling style, with one hand behind the back :) But I wonder if the TPH would bee to small even with a .22, or if it would jump all over the place. .22 is about as mild a recoil as I'm likely to run into, but 11.5 ounces unloaded? The PP I could just pop 10 rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger and get them in the center.
