I took the PPK/S that I've been having trouble with to the range today.
I discovered that it will work fine as long as it is well lubricated. After 3 and 1/2 magazines it failed to go fully into battery. I tapped the rear of the slide with my left hand. The slide closed fully and the round fired. However, the next round also failed to go fully into battery. So I sprayed the gun with the "Rem-lube" and it fired normally for several more rounds.
Then I lost the capability of firing the gun using the double action trigger. I now can fire the gun single
action, but I don't have a double action trigger.
That about does it. I'll call the factory tomorrow and find out what I have to do to ship it back to them so they can make it right.
I really don't like having to do this, but I have no choice. This is really a BUMMER!
Has anyone had to send a gun back to Walther America or Smith & Wesson? How long do they take to turn one around?
