What Did They Do To My Walther PPK/S? It's Back.

The recall will NOT affect performance. my previous range test on this thread is IMHO that S&W fixed what "they" were concerned about, machined the sharp edges down on the upper, evidently fired more than a "mag or two" through it, without lube, and sent it back.

As other brands have had recall's the Walther never had a trigger issue, it remains the same. If they bumped jumbo's Anniversary Edition spring up, they did it for a reason. If he has an issue with performance, there is NO doubt he would be the one to get S&W to get it right.

Mine came back dry and dirty, but S&W covered their concern with the recall and did a "fluff and buff" while they had it.

I would send yours back with a letter voicing your apprehension and concerns, that is totally acceptable. I'm sure S&W and the guys in Maine won't "f" them up...

You have A LOT more faith in those Mainiacs than I do ! The only other industries up there are Logging, Potato's and Blueberries.
A $9/hr I bet they got a LOT of experienced help.

I would suggest to Frank that he disassemble the pistol and give it a THOROUGH cleaning and relube it, BEFORE he shoots it. If it still isn't right call Customer service.

I gave mine a very light lube, but no cleaning. Range trip went fine. I have several S&W's and Frank should have the same result.

I hope the Chief Maniac does the final inspection and firing line test, ( he should at least get more than $9) and S&W takes stock in their employees. Gun owners can be rather cantankerous and downright rowdy, if we're let down after a recall.. Ask Jay..

If my Walther was not "right" I would have shared it with everyone here, and Houlton, ME.

Jumbofrank has such diplomatic savvy, I'm sure after a range trip, if it's not right,, we'll all know the result..

I'm just saying that except or a couple of engineers they are not "gun guys" as in gun smiths (most probably shoot and/ or hunt) and except for a very few "set up" people they are probably not "machinists" beyond loading parts and pushing the "go" button.
That judgment is based on my experience at T/C where they had a MUCH larger pool of skilled labor being laid off from the shipyard but they did not get them because the pay was so low.
