There are a couple of things that seem to be relatively common issues with these PP Series pistols. One; the hammer following the slide forward when firing, and two; the safety dropping down into the “safe” position from the ”fire” position while firing. If you’ll look at the exploded diagram for these guns you can see they have a very intricate, jewel-movement kind of construction, particularly in the fire control mechanism. This problem is often the result of wear but also can be attributed to poorly fitted parts. For example, the interaction of the hammer, safety drum and hammer block: these may seem to be drop in parts, but nope, there are 5 (as I best recall) sizes to be matched up, with those parts and it takes a gunsmith with a good knowledge of these guns to do it right. I’ve had the safety issue with at least 3 of the ones I’ve had. Talk about putting a ship together in a bottle...if you ever start trying to replace the hammer, block, sear, etc you are in for some serious small micro work with tweezers and a lot of patience. Anyway, neither of these common problems is a big deal if it’s just a range gun or a just for fun gun, but they are show stoppers if you intend to carry the pistol for self defense.
I sure do like that two tone on yours...I hope she’s a shooter.
