Licensing is everything.
Smithy can't do a thing w/o permission from Walther.
Mine's an Interarms pistol.
About 3 years ago I did a lot of research on this venerable
ol' banger....my notes are God knows where now....however,

I have become convinced that all of S&W's problems with the PPKs is related to the feed ramp. They obviously did not use the same angle as Interarms did. The polishing done at the factrory is not uniform therefore it feeds badly on some and not

Well, on further investigation it turns out that my bartender friend has an interarms model - surprise, surprise. Now JJ (my S&W PPK/s) is a pretty good girl these days but only after I worked her to death, and she is still picky about ammo;

I emailed Frank Smith with my test fire report.
He said "Yes, send it back. I sent it to Sringfield MA for the update. I didn't look at it when it came back.
Apparently, someone didn't do their job. I will get it functioning properly

TexVetNam67-68,
That upsets me that S&W will not take care of their problem. I imagine how much more upset you are because you are stuck with such junk.
If you want to let S&W know, I personally will not buy another S&W semi-auto or a Walther

Tim,
Sorry to hear about this. A couple of thoughts come to me as I ponder your problem.
If it goes in for the decocker recall you may be able to contact S&W to see it it is there.
The orther is Home Owners insurance. Applicable?
You must have a lot nicer friends than I do. My little group would have paid the individual a visit to discuss the price of tea in China

Hey Tex, you can do both! Pop a few primers and then pop a cap. I'd sure enjoy being able to join you. The delivery of your safe should be simple. Mine came in a heavy cardboard box and they rolled it right into my office. Said thanks and were

Still have to wait. Freight company called today and they are delivering my new Stack-On safe tomarrow. Looking for a new place to shoot and maybe join GUNNUTZ and pop a few.
Primers that is, not bottle caps. He uses the same places that I used when I lived over there. Maybe so, Mabe no

No, got rid of the Manual W/ The Gun. I knew I read it, but wasn't going to make it a sure thing cause I had nothing to back it up with. I only read it cause I wanted to know the same thing!
Still waiting!!

OK Billy, Caught you reading the manual. The PPKs Smith & Wesson manual does say not to use +P ammoi in Walther firearms.
Maybe SPOI74 should warn his bartender friend, who probably didn't receive a manual since he bought his used.

TEX,
If I remember correctly, Walther tells you in the Manual *Not to use +P Ammo. I could be wrong, but it sounds familiar.
Still waiting on the results!

Yall might find this hard to believe, but a 25 year old bartender friend of mine asked me if $400 was a good price for a PPK/s, and I said yes, but told him about the breakin period needed. He told me he had fired the piece - he is buying it from
