I bought a S&W version a couple of years ago to replace a much older wartime Walther that I let get away from me after I had owned it for about 15 years. The recall struck before I had a chance to fire it, and when it came back from the factory it performed as expected -- no accidental discharges, no jams or FTFs. It's OK, I guess, but I agree with anyone who says the action sure feels stiff. The decocker turns only if you put some real arm into it. I improved it a little bit with some superfine sandpaper, but it still needs more work. In general, the sliding surfaces need to be better polished. But the gun is adequate as it is -- it deserves neither praise nor condemnation.
My new one is a .380; the older was was a .32 (or 7.65mm).
