Bought the new Newlight Arms CF007 (PPK lookalike)
My Elder Brother just purchased the CF007 New light Arms PPK look alike, Surprisingly my younger brother has an actual Walther PPK and now We also have a look like in family...
First hand experience, When I help the weapon it was solid, built quality was great, the metal, the overall look and feel is good. The confidence however I had was not much it is normal human tendency that if the product is a copy from something which is orignal you do not get that much of a confidence.
I haven't got time to shoot it, once the weekend arrives I'll be going to my farmhouse to shoot a few rounds, I can upload videos but I do not know how to upload on forum (not a tech guy). If someone directs me I can try to manage, If anyone wants to see real photos let me know.
On the contrary, I went to take the delivery and the dealer actually said that it will now be very difficult to get these apparently as they might discontinue it, Again this might not be the correct information, but this is what he said that they might face problems due to the design being similar to the Walther.

A friend recently bought it, immediately faced issues, jamming and ejection problems, returned it the next day, might have been problem with ammunition but he tried ammunition of different batches

Keeping in mind, the Indian manufacturers charge a handsome amount, but quality is still not being delivered compared to imported weapons, though they are nothing less than 40 years old.Mayurdhwajsinh wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 9:13 pmA friend recently bought it, immediately faced issues, jamming and ejection problems, returned it the next day, might have been problem with ammunition but he tried ammunition of different batches

Just because a product is a copy does not mean that it is bad.Pratipalsinh Jadeja wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 2:01 pmThe confidence however I had was not much it is normal human tendency that if the product is a copy from something which is orignal you do not get that much of a confidence.
The PP/PPK/PPKS was a very successful design and it has been copied and modified by many over the years. Perhaps the greatest compliment was the Soviet Union copying the PP in the Makarov pistol, which developed the 9mm Makarov cartridge for their copy to give the most powerful cartridge possible in that size and weight of a blowback action pistol.
The issue here is not that copying the PP/PPK/PPKS makes the copy bad. Since the design is well-proven over decades, the issue is the quality of manufacture and how well the copy was done. Does the copy feed reliably? Is the heat treatment proper so that the copy will not wear prematurely?
These are the issues I'd be concerned about, not that this gun is a copy of an existing design.
Any patent rights that would limit copying the PP/PPK/PPKS have expired long ago, which is why it is copied so often now. This is just like MSD copying the Colt 1911 45 Auto -- any exclusive rights have expired long ago.Pratipalsinh Jadeja wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 2:01 pm. . .

If there is a discontinuation, it is more likely to be that they can't make money on what they are selling, that there is a problem in manufacture that can't be easily solved, or the manufacturer has either made a deal with someone else to cease, or has a newer model or version that they wish to market.
Or maybe their company has financial issues.
There are many possibilities here, but I doubt that the reason for cessation has to do with any rights infringement.
