Walther PP Series & FEG PA63 Pistols

The Walther PP series of guns do not utilize a locking system, as they are straight blowback pistols.

The Walther PP series of guns have cartridge indicators that are spring-loaded forward and down in the slide, and they allow the shooter to be able to both visually and tactilely tell if their pistol has a round in the chamber.

Which model of pistol has a slide lock feature that will lock the slide rearward after the last round in the magazine has been fired, the FEG PA63 or the Walther PPK?

A safety feature is enabled when the hammer is cocked to its full cock position in single action on a FEG PA63 and a Walther PPK. The sear rises and pushes the part up through the frame of the gun. What does that part do?

1. Blocks the hammer on the Walther
2. Blocks the trigger on the Walther
3. Blocks the hammer on an FEG PA63
4. Moves the firing pin into alignment with the hammer  on an FEG PA63

The manual safety (safety catch) on the Walther PP series of guns blocks the hammer from hitting the rear of the firing pin when set to the safety “on” position and has a hammer drop feature. The safety catch also prevents the firing pin from moving forward and protruding through the breech face when the safety in on.
