·I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I would highly recommend that you research the .32 version of that weapon. The .25 caliber has an unfortunate reputation for being phenomenally lethargic. Just stuff to think about. Sorry I couldn’t help with your question.

·Me niether. the PT 25 is a copy of the little Berettas though, if I'm not mistaken. Have you looked at the Beretta Tomcats? Damn fine little guns.
OK I bought the PT-22 last mo. Just got it back from factory. I wish I would have spent the extra money and bought the Beretta 21 in 25 auto. A far better weapon .and smaller and easlier to conceal.
I have a Beretta 950 BS old SA 25auto and a Bauer Both date 1980 or so.
I only carry ball ammo because with a 25 your looking for penateration. I have always considered the 25 auto to be my long raange icepick . In ball will make a lots of little holes about 8inches deep. HP if they open will not go deep enough I'm afraid.
All the above said If for a CCW weapon get a Ket tec P-32 bigger bullet more power and can use HP. I said 32 not 380 . 32 has less recoil 1 more round and seems to have better track record. I have 32 in pocket at present.

I bought a PT22 in 1998. I had issues on my 1st trip to the range - sent it into Taurus, and got it back - never had another problem with it again - works great.
I wanted a Glocklight for my Glock 34 last fall, so I figured I would sell it - my mother ended up buying it, so for all essential purposes, I can get it back and take it to the range anytime I want to.
It makes a good pocket gun. At the time I bought it, I debated where I should get a 22 or a 25. At the time, someone posted some stats on one of the gun sites, and it seemed that the 22 actually would do more damage (depending on the particular bullet).
While U are not supposed to fire hyper velocity rounds in the gun, I shot a few hundred thru it before I realized that - whenever I carried the gun for self-defense purposes in my pocket, I kept those in the mag (they are hypervelocity hollowpoint rounds) - I figured 2 or 3 more wouldn't matter after I had shot that many initially.
Still, the gun does have a fairly heavy trigger pull, and is essentially more of a mouse gun than a super accurate range gun. Realize that.
I think U'd be better off buying a Beretta Tomcat, however.
