PPS discoloration

A note to anyone looking into their brand-new pistol before or after their first range trip:

Reddish stuff in the grooves/joints of your pistol are nothing to panic over, this is quite normal. Real rust is flaky, spotty, and spreads, this is solder/flux from assembling your weapon, it isn't iron oxide, the folks in Ulm just chose an odd color for firearms assembling compound ... we will forgive them for that eccentric choice, they got pretty much everything else right.


Brass marks on or around your ejection port and/or on your feed boss are normal, they can be ignored or cleaned off gently with a solvent. Don't mess with the feeding/ejection of a working gun, if the rounds go in the chamber without problems, the lead goes downrange rapidly, and the empty brass goes away ... don't mess with the gun.




Can I post a fourth picture?
If so ...
