[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3104753, member: 10465"] You are very welcome. About the only other thing I can tell you is that the recoil springs on these guns have about a 1,500 round Service life. As the gun is a blow back design, the spring has to absorb the force of that steel slide slamming back, the stock springs are 20 lb, and that’s fine for the hot stuff, like Fiocchi. I found that I got better performance running a reduced power spring from Wolfe when I had to shoot weaker ammo, like Remington for example. Recoil springs are cheap; I’d buy them by the 3-pack from Wolfe and change them out maybe a bit sooner, say 1,200 rounds or so. These guns were solidly built; not like a lot of more modern pistols, but why risk battering your frame to an early grave when you can give it a fresh spring for a few bucks. Also, any of the grips made for either the original German made PP or PPK/S or by Interarms will fit. The ones made for S&W guns will not fit right so be careful if you spend money on new grips.
