I purchased a Used Walther PPKS on Saturday, February 16, 2008. I took it to the range and fired off 250 rounds with moderate failure to feed or failure to ejects.
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 way forward and shoot. It feels as if the .380 rounds are slightly too big for it.
I bought some Federal .380 ammo can not chamber a round. I have to pop it out using a pen or bore brush from the muzzle end.
The ammo that worked moderately well was Winchester hollow points a buddy had laying around. Those only jammed about every 15th rounds; every other magazine would have one jam or failure to eject.
The last 50 rounds went without incident, but I stopped due to the "rubbing of my skin" where the beaver tail sits... I mainly shoot large frame .40 cal so this was a new experience...
So my questions are:
1. Is this normal?
2. Should I be worried about it?
3. Is there any specific ammo I should be looking for?
a. Target
b. Defense
