I have a question that I am kind of embarrassed to ask, feel like I should know the answer. My pistol SN falls in the list above and is marked PPK/S-1.

Does the dash 1 change anything?

I bought it 3 or 4 yrs ago from a LGS, do LGS's send in firearms for recalls? Do they have any responsibility to let the retail customer know if there is a recall?

As always, thanks members for the information.

Also, mine is stamped "Houlton, ME" I had read that pistos manufactured in that plant where of poor quality and experienced many problems? Truth or jus rumor?
