About a month ago, I purchased a Walther PPS First Edition because I thought it would make a good CCW, and I had to send my H&K USP Compact back to HK for repair (No Compromise... except on flat springs.)
I initially put 200 rounds through it, and got 2 FTEs. The spent shells were not being fully extracted before the next round in the magazine was jammed up underneath it. This jam is only cleared by locking the slide back and forcefully pulling the magazine from the bottom of the gun.
After a thorough cleaning, I went back to the range, and put another 200 rounds through it. Again I got 2 FTEs of the same variety. So I'm thinking, 99% reliability, I suppose that's not too bad, for a gun that isn't a Sig or HK.
Then the other day I went and put another 400 rounds through it, receiving no less than 10 FTEs (evenly distributed through the day.)
The weapon occasionally hits me in the forehead with ejected shells.
Anyone else having such reliability issues, or should I send this gun back to Walther? We're talking 800 rounds and still not "broken in."
