Over the weekend, I came across this little gem of a Model 469, 12rd "mini" 9mm. To my surprise, my offer was accepted (about the price of a S&W 9mm Shield after current rebate!).
It came with (2) 12rd factory magazines and original box. It looks like it was rarely used and is in near mint condition inside and out.
After some research, I found out there was a recall on these due to a de-cocker/safety issue. Even though this 469 is not within the serial number range for the recall, it still exhibits the faulty issue. Is it possible for models falling outside of the range to still be affected or am I not testing correctly?
I put the hammer in half-cock position and when I try to use the de-cocker, it does not move or drop the hammer. Otherwise all other functions are fine.
