Dude....went to the range tonight with my dad and younger brother. Shot my dads new AR, that was cool, whatever..here's my problem...

My damn Walther Ppk/s jammed after each round and after 2 mags I put it back in the bag and fired my Bersa Thunder all night with no issues. Has anyone else had one of these S&W Ppk's? I'm at the point where I think I'm going to trade/sell it on Monday. That was my CC gun and I'm pretty bummed that it sucks.

New gun or is this just a new development? If it's literally malfuctioning after nearly ever round sounds like there's something wrong with the gun. Or maybe it has a stiff spring and the ammo isn't hot enough.

My Sig P229 won't shoot WWB without stovepiping after every round. But it'll chew right through any other ammo.

Well, it's never successfully shot cheaper ammo. The only thing I could get it to shoot was Winchester white box. Yesterday, it wouldn't even shoot that. Now, you can blame it on a poor cleaning, limp wrist, ammo, or whatever, BUT....the Bersa Thunder didn't have any problems at all, and I cleaned it the same, held it the same, and shot the same ammo. I think I'm going to sell the PPK and wait a couple of years for the new one to come out through Umarex.

Pack it up and send it into the factory. They've got a warranty, I'd use it before selling it.

The last time I sent a gun to Walther, they had it for 3 months. Pretty sure I'm going to trade it for a Bersa BP9cc or a Glock 43. Thoughts?

I honestly would at least get them to check it before selling. If it's a factory problem, they should be the ones to fix it and the warranty sometimes doesn't transfer to new owners, although I don't know how Walther works for that.

Both are fine guns to trade for (between those 2 it would be a coin flip for me, I'll probably end up with both eventually) , but I'd still send it back to them first to get it sorted out.

I realize it's frustrating, but I wouldn't lose money on it just because they are slow to turn around warranty repairs. Maybe if you gripe enough or talk to the right CSR they'll toss in a mag for your troubles.

Need some suggestions for a holster. Going to be getting my carry permit soon. Also, I will be carrying while hunting as well. So ease of access is a need for me. I've did some research on a few but want some opinions for you all.
