Sending my old "AK" PPS to S&W to have issues found in forums addressed. Advice?.
Hi,
I have an old PPS with date code AK that I bought new. I really like it but I have often had the slide not completely return to battery (by about 1/8th inch) and have to push the slide forward into place before it will fire. On top of that I have been following these forums for a few years and have really lost faith in the gun as a carry weapon. I am now ready to send it to S&W for updates/repairs to address all the issues. I have never sent a gun for repair and I'd like to get everything addressed. Does anyone have any advice on what I should put in the letter when I send the gun in to make sure I get all of the fixes?
So far I know I want:
1. The newer slide stop with the tab to hold the spring.
2. The slide return issue fixed (I am not familiar enough with guns to know what needs to be fixed/replaced to fix this)
Is there anything else I should have done?
Thanks for your help,
Tony
