Walther PPX broken slide stop.

[shadow sniper]

One if my Walther’s had a slide stop breakage yesterday.
Will north sylva take it for repair ?
How long to get this part ?
Mmmmm

I guess you should ask North Sylva and get it straight from the horse's mouth.

How many shots do you have on your PPX? Did you use the slide stop lever as a slide release after re-loading a mag?
I have a PPX for a couple years so I'm quite interested in what happened and why.

Me too, I only have around 400 rounds through mine but love it, awesome trigger, where can we get spare parts!?

I had the PPQ Match slide stop break. Called North Sylva. Wouldn't send me the part. Covered under warranty. Took 8 weeks and I paid the shipping one way from BC.
The slide stop is probably the one weak spot on the pistol.
At least it was covered under warranty.

That repair has to be in house??

5000 rounds. I contacted Walther service, will call NS today.

Thanks, good to know. I have 1,300 through mine.
But did you ever use the slide stop lever as a slide release after re-loading? I'm curious because some people say that one should release a slide by racking it. Not necessarily that I believe it but just to be on a safe side. Also, what ammo did you shoot?

 

[bobdbldr]

I would just as well replace parts myself than spend time and money sending it out! Where can we access parts for these?

 

[shadow sniper]

I always use the slide stop: 124gr.

 

[shadow sniper]

I got another one, will see if it’s gonna have same problem.
Both shoot like lasers.��

Thanks.
Interesting, that somehow supports the theory that using the slide stop lever for releasing a slide, weakens the lever. Ammo seems to be irrelevant, though.

Mine broke at around I think 2000 rounds, had to send the gun in to get it replaced, I doubt I've put 100 round through it since I got it back. fwiw I always ran 124gr ammo and rarely used the slide stop to release the slide.

I wouldn't want to get banned...

I hate when people proclaim that it’s a slide stop not a slide release blah blah blah. In almost all of my pistol manuals it calls for use of the lever during reloading.

 

[bobdbldr]

So, I guess parts aren't available for these!

You hear the slide stop/release argument mostly from the Glock crowd. I suspect because the slide release is so small on the Glock. Bpb Vogel, who shoots a Glock, refers to it both ways and recommends its use to release the slide in one of his videos because it is faster.
