S&W PPK and PPK/S recall

[trap55555]

Smith and Wesson has issued a recall on the PPK and PPK/S hand guns.

From the Smith and Wesson website
"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."

Full detail are here (S&W site)

Shoot good,

Mods should this be a sticky for a few months?

Looks like the Walther alliance isn't as good as promised. Maybe the Germans should stop drinking beer at lunch when they still have 4 hours to build slides! Lotsa recalls lately...the Ruger SR-9, the S&W I-bolt, and even the FNH Model 70...what gives?
