Recall Notification: Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols - Page 3

lunde · 02-22-2009, 11:42 AM

Has anyone else noticed that the letter and digit portions of the serial number ranges on that page are inversed? For example:

PPK 0001-PPK 1500

This is obviously for the 75th Anniversary PPK for which 1,500 were made. But, the serial number on the frame follows the pattern xxxxPPK. Here is mine:

I own two PPK/S pistols that are affected, so three will be going back.

I havn't even picked mine up yet .It is on layaway . I hope he just lets me move the money over to something eles . Or sends it in to get fixed while Im paying for it .I don't think I want to pay on the gun for two months then have to send it in to S&W and wait for who knows how long to get it fixed .

Some of you speculated that they might replace the slides as well. Has anybody talked to them about specific requests they might have with their particular gun? I just paid a bid of cash to mill the slide and get some tritium Novaks installed on my PPK/s and I DON"T want them to replace my slide. I'd call them right now but they're closed. I also did a bunch of other mods to my gun that I wouldn't want them to mess with. Anybody have any experience with their own modified gun and sending it to Smith and Wesson? I sent a Kel tec to Cocoa, FL and they sent me a new slide while the old custom sights were discarded! I don't want this to happen to this gun too.

What the hell is up with the PUNCH mark on the beavertail?
if that thing wasnt ugly enough, now they are going to MAR the finish on my gun?
WTF?

At least Ruger used a diamond stamp to indicate when an LCP had been upgraded. I wonder how many folks are going to just whack their guns with a center punch
(or rusty nail) and then dump the things rather than waiting for S&W to get around to fixing them...

At least it will be down in the hammer groove and not at the exterior surface.

Well it must be so bad the SW website is no longer working.... and Waltheramerica is also taking forever....

I entered my information last night, but I haven't received any pre-paid billable stamp or shipping instructions via E-mail. Is this normal? Has anyone else received the pre-paid billable stamp or shipping instructions? Thanks.
