The Walther PPK/S Semi-Auto Pistol fieldstrips easily into 4 sub-units for cleaning and maintenance. So I stocked up and used it as break in ammo. Its not the cleanest, and not as reliable as CCI. Back in the great ammo drought a few years back, Thunderbolt ammo was the only ammo I could find that could cycle the Bersa. The magazine release is easily reached with the shooter's thumb, and an internal slide stop prevents external snags. Vincent, I did not have any issues using the unplated bullets. 380 practice ammo will have you grinning like Bond after each range session. The PPK needs to be broken in to really run well, and some cheap. It seems to jam up every 5th or 6th round and I had to drop the magazine, pull the slide to the rear and push it forward so that it would ride all the. I took it to the range and fired off 250 rounds with moderate failure to feed or failure to ejects. The ergonomic grip frame features checkered composite grip panels and an extended beavertail allows a high hold without worrying about hammer bite. The Walther produced PPK is very tight, especially the stainless model, and really starts to shine after running a hundred or so rounds through the gun. I purchased a Used Walther PPKS on Saturday, February 16, 2008. The slide is serrated for a non-slip hold when loading or clearing the weapon.
The top of the slide features wave cuts to reduce glare and the pistol comes with low-profile fixed sights, which interfere minimally when drawing the weapon from a holster or purse. The frame, slide, and most parts are made of stainless steel.
