I had one in .22 years ago. Similar to Walther PP, but not double action. It was well manufactured and accurate, but not always reliable. Spares could be a problem. Maybe take it shooting before you accept the gift. With the hassle involved in licensing, that should not be seen as ungrateful.

I think I should go shoot it like you said but handeled the gun it feels like a good gun. This one is 7.65mm so should be fun to shoot

7,65mm should not be underestimated. It isn't a 9mmP but it's also not useless. Capable of good penetration. Ammo is becoming harder to find and costs more than 9mmP. I just bought a Walther PPK in .32ACP under sec 16.

Yes Andre the 7.65mm is a caliber that should not be underestimated. I have shot this one today and it shoots very tight for so a small gun. A PPK is also on my list of guns to own do the line

I shot the PPK twice last week on NHSA pocket pistol targets at 5m. First time out I did a 50/50. Second time out the best I did was 48/50. That is really not bad. That fixed barrel makes a big difference.
