I have a 624 in the serial number range for the recall. I wouldn't consider sending it back to be checked for the reasons others have stated, and I've shot it for years with no issues. There remains considerable confusion and disagreement over the "bad steel" vs. "deep chambers" reason for the recall, but whichever it is (I tend to go with the "deep chambers" crowd, which I understand is Roy Jink's explanation), I can't imagine the problem could be all that serious if guns that passed the check are designated as such by stamping a red "C", or anything else, ON THE BOX. (Consider, for example, how they stamp the "M" on the 586/686 recalled/repaired guns, which is a relatively trivial issue.) S&W has to know, as we all do, that guns and their boxes often part company over the years - if the recall was all that important, they'd have marked the guns themselves so there'd be no question.
