walther ppk--Problem ???
« on: March 04, 2003, 11:16:30 AM »
thanx for the advice gunnut.
ok folks here is my delima/problem---i own a stainless ppk .380--it is the pre s&w manuf.---it is about 15/18 years old--it has been fired but from suggestions of others it may not be broken in yet  (3-500 rounds)--it eats,digest,and extracts all hardball---it does not function with hp's. by not function i mean it will not eject after fireing.   i have taken it back to the place where i bought it and they said that ppk's had a problem with hp's--said they were of the opinion this was not a fixable thing.  no problem-i have been carrying the thing this long adn i like the gun.
i found this forum and i got to looking and reading post--i was impressed by the comments, apparant good knowledge, great attitude and a lot of other things--so here i am asking some real basic questions---this will not be something i will attempt to correct myself--if it can be corrected.
1) is this hollow point thing a correctable thing.
2) if it is the general consensus--yes--does anyone know of a smith in houston they would reccomend?
3)if not in houston-does anyone know of a smith somewhere else they would reccommend.. i realyy like referals and i don't hold the referre to any degree of responsibility.
blessings in advance
ps--i don't understand a thing yall talk about here--but its kinda fun and nanno by nanno i am learning some things.

I really don't understand..  The Walthers PP and PPK can be a little 'funnuy' about feeding hollowpoint bullets but not ejecting HP's is new!!  I would think that once the case is empty(read fired) it should be the same as the ball round!  May be a bad extractor dropping the case, an overpressure recoil spring or a weak round..  A good smith should be able to help...  Tell those jokers that no pistol is doomed to never eject a fired case if the bullet that left it was a HP..

Myself also have never heard of a failer to extract due to being a hollow point, but seeing many of those ppk through the shop for h.p feeding problems I can tell you that it is correctable giving 100% reliability.
for extraction problems adjust your extractor,for feeding problems throat & polish your feed ramp.
And all is good.

Glad to hear the Walther fixed itself!!  I really like those little pistols.  They do sometimes have a bit of a problem feeding with some of the more extreme hollow points but as has been said, that can be fixed..
