1. d reddot design awar winner 2006 q O O e A First of all we would suggest that the SSP does not belong to those kinds of arms which perform better without cleaning For some reason it is said that those arms and a few marksmen believe this exist But seriously in order to preserve its technical su periority the SSP needs to be cleaned regularly Depending on the kind of ammunition used the SSP should be cleaned every 1000 2000 shots With the wide range of 22 ammunition available the final choice rests with the shooter who will evaluate accuracy functioning and reliable op eration of the pistol For a major cleaning the pistol needs to be stripped down to its main components This should be done step by step 1 Open the slide remove the magazine and make sure that there are no more cartridges in the chamber 2 There are two little black screws with small boreholes under the muzzle These so called choke screws can be fully unscrewed with a 2mm Allen wrench It is important that the screws do not get mixed up Therefore the screws can be easily distinguished by turned in rings at the front 3 Release and remove the cover screw silver colored 4mm Allen wrench which is positioned under the muzzle viewed from the front 4 Employ the stripping and assembly aid from the front and lock it with the bayonet slide In do ing so the slide moves slightly bac2. striker The longer the trigger is adjusted the more secure the weapon works We would there fore recommend 2 3 mm first stage travel the same as we do for the factory set ting but this is not a must One of the problems that evoke several malfunctions of the SSP is the thoughtless loading of the magazine How could fail with this especially the GSP marks men wonder The magazine of SSP looks different from the outside Because of the special form there is a space saving in the rear of the gun which is used for adjustment of the grip This advantage which is not provided from an other hitherto Spopi what is this is certainly important so Dorisuren Munkhbayar 2 place AS RCCTLETE WAU A that it should be beneficial to pay attention to load the magazine This is not anything severe but it does help immensely The rounds should be displaced to each other when you look on the loaded magazine from behind In any case the top round should be placed as in the right picture and not as you can see on the left one If the top round looks like on the left picture then please knock with the bottom of the magazine one or two times on the table like a smoker before opening the package Then the rounds will be adjusted by themselves and the problem that the first shot will not be driven in the chamber is prevented Quite easy isn t it SSP News Notes Page 12 Publisher Carl WALTHER GmbH Technology S

8. man needs to apply all his power to fire a shot The shot is usually too late or the marksman cannot focus his weapon and the shot is way off the target If the trigger slack weight is too heavy the sear point is barely recognizable As a consequence the shot is fired way too early or even uncon trolled This adjustment could be even worse for the success of the shots However the right adjustment is an individual preference Each marksman needs to find the right balance between trigger slack weight and sear point Our pre adjustment is set on 700g for the trigger slack for each 1000g trigger weight Thus 300g remain on the sear point The SSP trigger offers the possibility to set up sear point Sear point weight and trigger slack weight individually Screws a b picture above below For each weight there is a dedicated screw Both act independently from each other In order to increase the weight both screws need to be turned in clockwise direction The other direction should be chosen if you wish to decrease the weight At the end it is important that the sum is correct The trigger should be able to safely hold 1000g or 1360g respectively even if the marksmen are inexperienced or their hands are not quite as steady as they used to be Trigger slack weight A two part screw is responsible for sear point set tings It consists of a screw with a slotted border Screw C which can be adjusted by the normal
9. point Especially for faster gun disciplines this is a quite unsuitable setting which can make the marksmen insecure figure 3 It is best to always to adjust both green parts as they are working together directly If you want to reduce the trigger slack please turn screw a clockwise and turn screw c anticlockwise To prevent a loss of interaction between the screws please turn every screw in a half rotation If you get too much play be tween both parts figure 3 so that you notice 2 trigger slacks please correct only with screw c by unscrewing it until you notice only one trigger slack If the gun does not release any more there is too little play for the trigger bar In this case only screw c has to be adjusted by screwing it in until trigger works Tip In spite of sounding stupid the safety has to be in the F position otherwise the trigger 7 would be out of service and you would not no tice anything this case we had indeed The move of the trigger can be reduced to 1 mm first stage travel by well damped weapons up from this point you have to approach slowly to the limits of this function being dependent on ammunitions and position of the pistol If the first stage travel is too short thus to direct adjustment you will risk doppler or the weapon does not tighten anymore after the shot that also can look like a malfunction of supply feed ing failure as the edge of the round gets stuck on the spike of the
