Is it comfortable in your hand? Don't let the internet chatter tell you what to think about your own gun. 
I can't speak for all Smith PPK/S's but the only one's I have see came from the Houlton plant...not sure if they all do but would seem likely. Mine also says "PPK/S-1". I would not trust any LGS to have addressed anything on a gun new or used! Most of them, not all, need to be thought of in the same vein as used car dealers.
I continue to read gun owner reviews on this gun and the story is the same...initial failures fade to zero after a few hundred rounds to break it in leaving them with a good looking, reliable, fun to shoot iconic gun.  |
I have shot it, less than 200 rounds. I did have several FTE and I figured it might be the brand of ammo. It's not a carry piece for me, it is simply the "BOND" gun I always wanted. Since I don't carry and I never use the decocker it's not an issue for me and I most likely won't be sending it anywhere.
I plan to take it the range and shot it some more and see if it loosens up for me. I like it foir what it is to me and I was just curious when I saw the thread.
Happy shooting!
