I bought the ppk/s in 12/08. It jammed/double fed 22 times in 50 rounds. The second time out the ejector spring disappeared. How does that happen if you don't take the ejector off? I polished the throat and feed ramp and use dry lube on the slides. After 300 rounds the problems disappeared. I have fired about 800 rounds using the dry lube every other cleaning and the weapon is reliable if I use 95 gr. propellent and rounded nose bullets. This weapon does not like flat nose bullets and less than 95 gr. propellent. Power-Ball however feeds well. Go figure. By the way I carried a German PPK for 30 yrs. with no problems. Smith and Wesson needs to worry about this product.
