New to the boards. Long time Walther P5 owner. Mainly into HK P7's though.
Just bought a Walther S/W PPK/s and thought I'd give a little report. From the factory, the inside of the gun was very dirty. Cleaned it and lubed it up. During cycling of the slide, sometimes it hangs up and won't allow me to fully retract it until I let it go forward and try again. Appears as though the release piece (#51 on the parts diagram) is hanging up at the decocker. Happens about once out of ten times. Also, tends to do it more if the gun is held sideways while retracting the slide. Unacceptable. I'll know more once I take it to the range for a workout. So far though I am disappointed with the QC and have already let S/W know about it. If it fails at the range it's going back for a replacement. I don't want a new gun fixed.
Anyone else experience this problem?
BTW, I like the new extended beavertail.
Thanks guys,
John...
