A couple of years ago my father gave me his Interarms/Walther Licensed PPK/S Beautiful little pistol, but had terrible issue with safety dropping and hammer following as well as not being able to clear a magazine without it dropping from the frame. Well, when Walther took over production of the PPK line from S&W, I hazard to ask Walther support, in an email if they would service the pistol. Service dept asked for the serial number and they agreed to service the pistol?! I then asked, at my cost, would they provide a FedEx label so that I didn't have to pay the next day, overnight Air... to which they agreed... it gets better. They service the pistol and return it in 3 days at no cost, all covered under warranty and they didnt charge for the shipping. Indeed, that is tremendous customer service!!! I will get to the range tomorrow to test the pistol, however I am confident it will be fine as it was dirty from test firing. If all goes well, I will be a definite Walther proponent. I was fully prepared to pay for shipping and servicing. All the best Billy | ||

It was real cold... Ran 3 magazines of Perfecta, 95 grn FMJ through the PPK/S, fantastic nary a hitch! Used the two original magazines, one with rest, other without and a MecGar. Glorious! To add, I neither asked, nor received the old parts back. I do however have a safety and a magazine catch from the period that I bought used, but were worn and didn't install. Here is what was documented as being done... ============================== Gun needs safety and mag-catch replaced Install & Fit Part(s)Listed Tested OPS at Range at 100% Parts Used 5 Service Walther PPK/S - SN ***** $45.00 SH Pistol Shipping and Handling $34.95 C00003 Thumb Safety - Stainless (Must Be Modified By Gunsmith) $29.50 C00005 Extractor Spring $3.95 C00006 Safety Detent $4.58 C00007 Extractor Pin $6.95 C00016 Magazine Catch - Stainless $12.95 Warranty-Walther $138.33 Order Subtotal: 0 Tax: 0 Freight: 0 Total: 0 ============================== This company really stands behind its designs After having been hosed by S&W, Sig, Colt... this is tremendously refreshing.

This is great news to me, as I own an Interarms PPk/S that I have owned since new. Never had a problem, but one never knows!! | |||

No, guess just parts wear, that’s what it looked to me when I inspected the surfaces. Possible galling between the divot in the safety and the detent. The pistol had been my fathers edc for close to 30+ years. Recently, he gave it to me and that’s when the issues surfaced. He hadn’t shot the pistol in years glad he never had to use it. When I was younger, there was never a problem that I could recall. Glad to have it up and running, it’s a solid little pistol and is very accurate. All the best Billy

Congrats on getting the PPK running so well. I know that’s satisfying. I’ve never even shot a PPK, but I’m a huge fan of the PPS Classic and M2, own a couple, and prefer it to my P365 as my go-to carry gun, even though I like the 365 a lot also. There’s just something about the grip size and texture (with Talon rubber) of that M2 that feels perfect in my hand. And I put the +1 spring kit into my 8 rd mag, so now I have 9+1 when I carry, which is a little closer to the 12+1 of the SIG. Love that pistol... | |||

I have a PPSm2 that needed the recall done on the trigger bar. They sent me a FedEx RMA and I had the gun back in 72hours door to door. I have a mid 1980’s ppk/s from my dad that’s always been finicky feeding. Might send it in. | |||

I have been considering other Walther models for a while now, looking for a more modern Walther design this coming year. That is, if the insanity dies down... no hysteria prices for me. Unfortunately, that may be a while. ![]() | |||
