Hey guys,
I picked up my brand new Walther PPK/S this afternoon and bumped into a little problem. I saw the link to this forum over on AR15.com so I figured you guys would be the people to ask.
Basically, I picked up the handgun and got it home. It was covered in a good amount of grease from the factory so the first thing I did was remove the slide to clean off the grease. When I removed the slide I felt something hit the floor, so I looked around and found that the slide catch lever had fallen completely off. I did not hear a spring shoot off or anything, but it may have. I called up the 1-800 number in the book and they are shipping a new spring out to me now.
My question is this, is the spring the only thing that holds the slide catch lever in place or could I possibly be missing more than just a spring? Everything seems to function fine, although there seems to be a good amount of play in the trigger. Since I don't have another PPK/S to compare it to I wanted to get all of your opinions. Should I just wait and get the spring, or should I send the whole thing back to the factory to have them figure it out?
Thanks for your help guys,
Don
