Last week I bought a brand new Walther PPS. Today was the first chance I had to take it to the range...with less than impressive results. I setup my target, loaded the magazine and racked the slide. Aimed at the target and squeezed the trigger - BANG!! Then nothing. The gun failed to return to battery after the first shot. So I follow the normal procedure, remove the magazine, eject the round in the chamber and inspect the gun and make sure nothing is broken etc. Everything appears to be fine so I reload the magazine and try again. Second shot fails to eject, third round jams behind it...
After clearing the second jam, the gun performed fine for the remainder of the day, about 150 rounds. Is it normal for a new gun to require some break-in period? Is this a common thing with PPSs? Or did I just get really really unlucky?
