Does the Walther PP Super have a manual safety?

No. The instructions state the PP-Super has no manual safety as such; instead it uses an uncocking cylinder that automatically returns to its rest position after uncocking the hammer, plus a tiltable firing pin blocked in the lowered position.

How do you load the Walther PP Super magazine?

Press the magazine release button, catch the magazine with the free hand, push the feeder platform or any live rounds down, and shove cartridges one by one under the magazine lips. Do not use force — damaged magazine lips will cause malfunctioning.

How is the first round chambered on the PP Super?

Hold the pistol with the shooting hand, muzzle pointed to the ground, insert the filled magazine, pull the slide fully back with the free hand and release it. The first cartridge is fed into the chamber and the hammer is cocked; keep your finger off the trigger — the pistol is ready to fire.

Who imported this Walther PP Super and issued the warranty?

Interarms, 10 Prince Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22313, per the Limited Warranty and Safety Warnings documents.

What makes the pistol safe when loaded and uncocked?

A double safety: the uncocking cylinder (17) blocks forward movement of the lowered firing pin (16), and a recess in the hammer face prevents the hammer (41) from touching the rear end of the pin.

This photograph shows the contents of a Walther PP Super pistol box: the unfolded factory instruction sheet, two blued-steel magazines, a black cleaning/loading tool, an Interarms 'Limited Warranty' notice, an Interarms 'Safety Warnings' booklet, and the black factory case with a Walther logo plate. The instruction sheet explains that the PP-Super has no manual safety; instead it uses an uncocking cylinder and a tiltable firing pin that is blocked when lowered. Sections with illustrations cover: uncocking the hammer, the automatic safety when the pistol is loaded and uncocked, double-action and single-action trigger operation (referencing numbered parts such as firing pin 16, uncocking cylinder 17, cocking piece 33, decocking piece 40, hammer 41, release lever 42, hammer trap 44, safety bolt 12, trigger 53), the moment of firing, how to load the magazine without forcing cartridges, and feeding the first round into the chamber, including the warning to keep the finger off the trigger and to uncock if shooting does not begin at once. The Interarms documents list the importer's address as 10 Prince Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22313. This is firearm literature, not automotive documentation, and does not pertain to a 1976 Dodge Power Ram.
