Ok, glad that misinterpreted that. It seemed out of character for you. As I stated, you are usually very helpful. My apologies for not assuming the best of intentions.


I have received good direction from the Walther forum, so I will try their recommendations and post the result here. Among other things, there is concern that the decocking mechanism may be not functioning correctly. I'll follow up after a range trip tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up about "Frog Lube." I have been using Hoppes #9 and Break Free CLP. Is there anything else I should consider using?

I have field stripped and cleaned it after every use. I have not much experience with completely tearing down a firearm, and was nervous about doing it. I didn't want to have to find a smith willing to deal with a box of parts. Frankly, I have only done this with long guns before and my experience with the PPK/S was only possible through the magic of youtube.

Thanks again for the responses.
