I'll be picking up my walther ppk this coming week and it turns out it is a change over model made by S&W from interarms parts in 2000,with the gun and parts comeing from interarms in blackcreek,AL. According to S&W. Now I've heard that these guns' frame and slide are cast and not milled or forged is this true? i've also heard that the castings are done by ruger which I don't see how this can be a bad thing if its true anyone know if it is?
So I would like to get your experiances on the interatms made guns? I've read some bad but also alot of good about these guns here and elsewhere our own ala dan has nothing but praise for his interarms ppk. I know any gunmaker can make a lemon but I can't help but think that the ppk has ben the victim of a few bad owner experiances that have been told and then retold word of mouth is a powerful thing,kinda like when I was shopping for my first 1911. I heard "don't buy one the a jamomatic p.o.s." but here I am on 1911 number four and nothing but reliability with all four.
Its known fact that alot of handgun malfunctions are/can be shooter induced limp wristing is one example. Also being the ppk is small and blowback design it may be even more prone to these kinds of things,also ammo can be a factor also maybe these ppk's like hotter ammo maybe? I know my dad's interarms ppk needed a break in before it was 100% and its been fine ever since though I don't know how many rounds I lost count by now. All I'am trying to do is gauge owner's experiances with these guns and why you like/don't like them thanks.
