I am thinking about a small blowback pistol. Narrowed it down to the Umarex Walther PPK or the Sig P365. What are your thoughts and opinions please.

I don't own a PPK but I do own a SIG P365, possibly the best sock gun on the market..... A whole heap o' fun in a tiny package, mine seems to prefer (and by 'prefer' I mean is more accurate with) ASG lightweight Blaster BBs. One tip I would give you is get yourself a couple of spare magazines for it 'cos it so easy to get through a mag in no time. There are two different types of magazines available.... The one on the left is the standard mag that comes with the gun but the one on the right is the extended mag and comes with a bit more meat to it at the bottom to help you get that little pinky finger hold on it properly, plus you can get a silicon over boot for the grip which as well as being a bit more 'grippy' than the standard grip stippling it also helps to enlarge the grip for a better palm fit but that all depends on how big your hands are buddy.

I've owned the P365 and the PPS M2 but thought the latter felt better in the hand...if you can get hold of one that is. Slightly longer grip with the stock magazine, full sized drop out magazine and decent blowback if I remember correctly (slightly snappier than the P365 if memory serves)

I have so far eschewed the modern compact pistols (I sense I’ll cave in eventually) and have stuck to the older, friendly looking options,
I had a PPK and enjoyed it but it wasn’t as snappy as some, I might try the new one due soon.
The Umarex Beretta m84 fs is around the same size. More powerful and a tad louder. Readily available too.
I have just acquired an Umarex Makarov Ultra which is blowback and quite similar to the M84 without the crunchy trigger. Not many about though.
Beretta and Mak have full drop out mags, my preference.

No, not on the Sig. By chance a Baikal Makarov became available so I went for that.
