Well considering the fact that I can't afford a German made PPK just yet - at least not one in the condition I really want, I picked up what I gather to be a good compromise... an Interarms version. I believe made in Gadsden, AL..? Took it to the range yesterday and put about 150 of the Winchester white box FMJ though it followed by a couple of mags of Remington Golden Saber JHP's when it was nice and dirty. No failures whatsoever, save one thing: Initially feeding the first round of each mag it would take two pulls of the slide to get the round to find it's way up into the chamber. This was with both kinds of ammo I tried, from the very beginning when it was clean. After that initial 2xpull of the slide each time, it was flawless. Even with the Golden Sabers. I pulled it back as far as I could too and released it, but the first pull never did the trick. Anyway, I took the grips off to blow everything out with gun scrubber last night and the machining inside looks nice and smooth. No bead blasting anywhere that I could see, except the underside of the slide (non contact point). I'm a happy camper
After it ate the JHPs flawlessly as dirty as it was, I have absolute trust in carrying this baby. Below is the link to the GB auction, not sure how long it will be available to see. I was toying with the idea of sending it to Cylinder & Slide for their action job. Any opinions? Thanks for listening...
