It ain't just Ruger
« on: February 24, 2009, 11:17:59 AM »
From www.thetacticalwire.com


Smith & Wesson has identified a condition that may exist in certain PPK and PPK/S pistols which may permit a round to be discharged without the trigger being pulled. When the manual safety is disengaged, Smith & Wesson's Product Engineering Group has determined that the possibility exists in certain firearms that lowering the hammer may cause a chambered round to fire.

This recall applies to all Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols manufactured by Smith & Wesson from March 21, 2002, until February 3, 2009. For serial numbers and more info, click here.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO! >:(

I'll wait for the official S&W announcement.

FWIW, purchased mine Spring 08,  the range 2002 to 2009 seems awfully broad. The only issues I've ever had were the rear sights were off center,flipping the decocker was like bone on bone, very stiff and didn't loosen up until some range time and literally flipping decocker on/off, on/off/ on/off etc,...150 times... shoot,clean,lube, flip on/off, repeat,...

If there is an issue with the manual safety/ decocker, that is where I could see it.

The pistol has always seemed very "tight" as to tolerances, but have had no other "issues".

Gee, Thanks.. :'( :'( :'(

Just came home from work, and you guys are on it.

I appreciate it, maybe I'll be proactive and contact them. Maybe I'll get a spiffy hat! :P

I'd rather have an extra mag, those little buggers are not cheap....

Just a follow up: online form confirmed the news.

0000BAJ - 9999BAJ , is my "zone" .

Got a confirmation number and pre paid UPS label and instructions coming.

No where did it say spiffy hat, no mag, no nothing. Just STOP shooting it. :-\

For the price of this little guy, you figure a coupon maybe? I'm one of S&W's best customers,... ???

So it begins,.....

Thanks for the heads up again, since I moved it may have taken a lot longer to get notified through "proper" channels.
