Hey all, here is my problem. I have a Walther PPK/S (.380), I do enjoy shooting the gun and even carry it from time to time when I can carry my normal CCW.
It has has a hard life. Several years ago, I hit a deer with my motorcycle, the gun got scraped up pretty good on one side when it went sliding. I got up (nothing broken) picked it up, looked at the deer, he stood up and ran off.
It has since seen a few more abbrasive drops on gravel roads and such from going off the side of the ATV's and such, but to me, it is still an awesome shooting pistol (super accurate).
Yesterday I was cleaning and playing with it, and the lever switch (one the left hand side of the slide)on broke off. The gun is still fully functioning, but no longer can I easily flip the manual safety on which is also the de-cocker.
Do I leave it as is, or get it fixed? Do I see if S&W will fix it, or try to get the part myself and get it fixed?
