I have a Walther PPK which I love. Well up until a few Months ago. For the past 3 Months everytime I fire this Handgun the Magazine falls out. This after the first shot. I have tried a new Mag with the same results. The Mag. fits tight with no play and the Mag clip is tight. I have sent this gun to a Gunsmith who has had it for over a Month and he also can't figure out what the problem is. HELP

is that only happening on a full mag, or with every shot no matter the # of rounds in the mag?

With every shot. Full or 1 shot left

Well, either the mag release, or the spring is worn out.

Or, the frame, or in the mag release has packed dirt / dried oil in the hole, which is keeping the mag release from seating fully in the cut in the mag body.

Can't be that hard to figure out.
Maybe your "gunsmith" should find another line of work?
