I regularly shoot various DAO Smith K-Frames so I have an exercised trigger finger, but 10-15 DA pulls on the Walther will get my finger twitching.

If you keep the Walther as a SA gun, it is great. Mine has been very reliable, with a few issues in the first 100 rounds, but then smooth sailing with various .22LR ammo, even when mixed in the magazine. The Zamak Pot Metal alloy doesn’t bother me and contributes to a solid feeling pistol. SA trigger is good, if not pretty darn good. The DA trigger is worse than a staple gun.

I hoped the PPK/S might be (1) a .22 DA/SA trainer and (2) a third string CCW when I wanted to have an old school look. Due to the 15+lb DA pull, it fails at both those missions. YMMV.
The DA trigger is worse than a staple gun...........SIR.....You just invented a soon to be famous qoute..........I like it!
