This video is good, but the 1st step in disassembling like with any firearm , is to drop the mag and clear it of any ammo.

Thanks for the demonstration... as always you have been quit helpful in my pursuit of collecting PPKs

Excellent! Well presented, clear instructions without a bunch of 'fluff'. Thank you.

I had one and had a hard time changing the springs, but I came up with an idea that I never thought anyone would think of. I went to a brake caliper repair shop and got the springs out, and here I got them. He refused to take the money, but I insisted, which made me happy.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I like your BIG point about maintaining same recoil spring orientation upon reassembly.... I found my 1968 PPK spring "smaller" (tighter) at one end (nearest chamber) vs other end (barrel crown).... But spring will also slide onto barrel when I reverse it (180 deg). My question is what prevents re-assembly of slide to frame if I change spring orientation?.... good day

I found your channel, and this video, on a whim. Recently I was gifted an authentic WW2 PPK from my grandfather. Has the stamps and everything. However I was never given a manual or anything of the sort in order to properly take care of this beautiful peace of history. Thankfully your video was the first I found in order to field strip the Walther, and funnily enough, our names are the same. Mine is spelled Kurt, is yours with a K or a C?

Thanks, great tip...no more pinching my fingers trying to manipulate the trigger guard

Wow, that's some amazing German engineering.

Thanks alot! Ive been wanting to clean my gun as of late.

New to the PPK, PPK/s. This is the first video that I came across and now I do not need look any further. I like the tip about the business card. It makes a lot of sense.

Thank you! Very detailed.

I'm thinking of getting myself a Walther PPK pretty soon. It's a great classic little gun.

Real simple disassembly like the HK VP70 . Germany makes good stuff

Thank you for this

Thank you!

Awesome video! 👍 It was a huge help and the perfect length of time without a bunch of extra nonsense like so many others! Excellent information 👌

THANK YOU for the "business card" idea of holding the trigger guard out. I tried watching Walther's video and of course it looked like their demonstration was maybe a PPK/S and he didn't need anything at all to hold his trigger guard out. It just stayed pulled out, which made me wonder what I was doing wrong! LOL Great video, thanks again!

Very educational. Thank you.

Great video thanks.

Great Video Thank you. Anybody a recommendation for ammo?

Helpful. Thank you.

Excellent video. Well done

If you remove the main spring and cannot remember the orientation the end of the spring closest to the breach will show more wear and flattening of the outside edges.

I recently picked up a 1939 PPK. It’s immaculate but when I field strip it the recoil spring is stuck. I’ve tried pulling and twisting but I am hesitant to force it. Have you ever encountered this? Any ideas to try for getting it loose?

CLP (liquid lube-cleaner) barrel & spring.... and "twist" spring until it comes off.... if that fails something else going on.... spring corroded to barrel?.... meaning using heat gun etal.... good day

Tight tolerances and likely light corrosion/fusing from time. The spring wouldn't come off my CZ Shadow 2 easily either. CLP and gentle twisting of spring clockwise (toward you, with muzzle facing left)

Much easier now! Thank you!

Awesome I just brought a ppks creed / ppks 19x9mm / ppk 19x9

I took mine apart to clean it and for some reason now I can’t get the barrel back on the gun, The trigger guard is down and the spring is on correctly, but now my barrel will not fit on evenly for some reason

Wait, the barrel is FIXED.

I’ve watched several videos about the disassembly of the PPK/S. Your video shows the safety OFF (in fire position) for disassembly & reassembly both. Someone else sets the safety ON before disassembly. 1. Does it matter? 2. Is the credit card/ business card option ok for my 1975 model PPK/S? I’m asking you this because ‘Legacy Collectibles’ probably knows more about Walthers than most (all?) others.

@thomaswhiteman4261

From what I can tell it does not seem to matter if safety is on or off. I guess the right answer would be to always keep the safety on. And yes, the CC trick works on the post war guns as well.

I successfully repaired a fireing pin on PPK when i was like 14. I didn't know shit about ppk takedown i remember somehow i took the slide off but couldn't put it back on the gun :D After the repair i needed to get info about the gun simply because i couldn't get the slide back on..

Please tell me what this piece is called and what it is made of

Please consider a takedown of the Astra 400 and reassembly video. Thanks Kurt.

Where I can buy Walther PPK, German made, non new American?

The first step in stripping a weapon is to make sure it is clear.

im fairly sure your spring IS on backwards, it's not supposed to slide freely like that

Does anyone know what rounds this gun takes I’ve tried .22 LR, .38 Special, 9mm, and 380 rounds none of them work the 380 fits in the clip but doesn’t fit in the barrel. I keep wasting money buying ammo that doesn’t work for this gun. So please anyone who knows what rounds this takes please let me know. Thank you!

Idk whats wrong with mine i do as the vid but the slide blew off

What a weird takedown method. What were you thinking Walther. At least their takedowns are easy and don't require having coke nails like a glock does.

I like to say I enjoy going yo the range and firing off a 100 or two of 22lr there fun and easy but I would like to say after 37 years that I am as safety conscious as I was the first picked up a gun and realized it's potential to do mayor harm or cause death I still enjoy the sport of shooting to this day but I still remember to check and check again these are not toys even when a salesman in a gun store removes the magazine and safety checks the weapon I still point it at the floor and check it myself a habit that seems to be lost on alot of people

Ql o valor dessa arma

Can someone help me ?, I want to know what my ppk is worth

Sean Connery would be proud

It's a good idea to ALWAYS remove the magazine and check to see if the gun is unloaded before disassembly.

I'm pretty sure the first thing you want to do is make sure the gun is empty. You skipped right past that step.

You stripped that weapon with it's magazine on.. You never cleared the weapon.. Schoolboy error

This video is for americans

Redo this - you are showing a completely unsafe field strip - if the magazine has to be out to reassemble, then take it out at the start and then cycle the slide to insure nothing is in the chamber. On the slide spring point out/describe the difference of the smaller diameter for barrel end and the other, wider end for the slide instead of rambling on about it and let being specific! This is armature hour from beginning to end 💩💩💩
