I contacted a CZ-52 and Makarov master smith in Lafayette Indiana named Claude Harrington and described the problem and he said that the pistols used some investment cast parts that were not very hard and that my problem ‘was very, very common’.
#WALTHER PPK SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP LICENSE#
Manufacturer/Trademark Interarms (under license from Walther) Model/configuration Model American PPK/S semi-automatic pistol.380 ACP cal., with 3-1/4 inch bbl., and stainless finish. When I got the round out of the chamber, the primer had a slight dimple in it indicating light contact with the firing pin. Serial Number range: 410000 (1921) to 537xxx (1924). I touched the safety lever with my left thumb and bumped the safety slightly upward towards the ‘on’ position and the hammer fell and if it weren’t for having my right thumb on the hammer, it would have fired. I had the safety on and was just looking at it and holding it in the palm of my right hand with my thumb on the hammer. I bought a couple of brand new magazines for it and while manually cycling a few rounds through to see if the new ones fed properly, the chamber had a round in it and the hammer was cocked. Roy, I bought a CZ-52 chambered in 7.62×25 a few months ago from a guy in Texas.

The issue was found that some Walther PPK and PPK/S semiautomatic handguns will fire a chambered round without the trigger being pulled.
