Well, like many people, I'm trying to get my PPK/s to a point of trusted reliability. I've had it for a few years and shot it infrequently, but recently it's really starting to grow on me.
The only problem that I experience is the occasional (~5-7%) failure to feed in which the FMJ round will rise higher than the feedramp, misalign with the chamber and get stuck against the top of the ejection port when the slide returns forward.
My first thought was magazines, but I haven't yet put enough rounds through to figure it out and haven't seen a pattern yet.
My main two questions are: 1) I've heard a lot about polishing the feedramp and wanted opinions on the effectiveness and experiences with it. I'm interested, but hesitant to permanently alter the pistol.
2) Has any one experienced similar issues and found other solutions?
Thanks for all the help in advance.
