Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols recalled

[OIS]

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. The Serial Numbers of the pistol subject to this recall are as follows:

0010BAB - 9999BAB
0000BAC - 9999BAC
0000BAD - 9999BAD

Yeah, I sent mine back for the fix and after 12 weeks it came back in inoperable condition. When safety is released, hammer de-cocks and trigger is released to the forward to set up the double action for the first shot. Well, my trigger would hang up in the single action rearward position and have to be physically pushed forward and sometimes even re-racked and de-cocked a number of times to get it to release. I had to return it to S&W for a trigger bar adjustment. They turned it in one week this time. Point is, send a note with your gun asking that they check out it's functionality before returning to you. Kinda important?
