I stopped today to pick up the RIA 9mm 1911 I ordered as my birthday present to myself... and lo and behold in the used gun cabinet, there was a pistol identical to one I'd sold years ago... one that I regretted selling...
... a stainless Walther PPK/s with blonde wood grips, just like the one I'd sold. I loved that gun, but didn't realize how much until I had sold it off. It was STUPID accurate and the single action trigger was a thing of beauty. It was so light and crisp, I'd doubletap unintentionally if I didn't pay attention to my follow-through.
So there it was... and priced well below what I'd seen every time I've seen one in recent years... $375. I haven't seen one below $500 in years, and I just wasn't willing to spend that much for one.
Then this beauty popped up:
I had to bring her home with me.
The story isn't 100% good... I think I found why the price was a bit low - the trigger won't reset to double action after dropping the hammer, without coaxing the trigger forward. Single action works fine. I bet it's probably something quite minor. I'll disassemble it later on and see if I can get it working right. Even then, I am glad I got it. I missed my PPK/s. Now I have another just like it!
