OK, here is the story. I visit a local gun shop and see a clean used Walther PPK/S made by Smith and Wesson. I am thinking...a clean stainless pistol of a proven design. Check. Little evidence of wear. Check. A reasonable price. Check. Then I remember back to two weeks earlier where I hesitated on buying a pistol, did some research, came back two hours later and that sweet Colt Government Model Series 80 in stainless was gone. I am not going to let that happen again! I put the PPK/S on lay-a-way, happy in knowing that I am going to have another nice little concealed pistol to haul around.
Curious, I start doing some internet research and YIKES! I find out about the recall. Not good. I read some forums about months to get the gun back from S&W after the recall. Not good. Dirty guns come back to the owner. Not good. Guns that functioned previously, now having light strike issues. Not good. Guns come from back from S&W scratched up. Not good.
Because the gun is on lay-a-way I can't see if it was previously sent back to S&W for the recall, but now I am second guessing the purchase of this pistol. Did I make a mistake (oh well), or have others had luck with their PPK/S???? All input (both good and bad) is appreciated. Thanks!!!
