Had the same problem with my model 559. Eventually sent it back to S&W. Problem solved.

Any idea what the recall was for? Mine is at the factory now for a slide stop pin issue.

It's possible. Lived on Labelle St in the 50's and early 60's. Moved to NJ in 1966. I would have graduated WSHS in 1969.

I grew up... ..in West Springfield. Lots of fond memories from that period in my life.

I obtained a shipping label via the SW website in February. Warranty turnaround was very fast, and I did receive email notification along with a FedEx tracking number when it was shipped back.

Thank you for your reply.

Hello...I've discovered a problem with my new 1911 9mm handgun. While cleaning it, the pin holding the barrel link to the barrel came loose. I put it back together, but it's still loose and I expect I'll have the same problem the next time I field strip the gun. My question..how difficult is it...

I purchased a PC627 in February that had the crown burr, cylinder stop not dropping completely (causing to action to lock occasionally), and the hammer rubbing the frame. Sent it back 2/22. Received it back today. It took 10 days door to door. S&W replaced the barrel, cylinder stop and spring...

I just ordered the 5" PC M627 - SKU 170210. It'll be another 10 days until I pick it up.

Thank you for your replies.

Well, spoke with S&W Customer Service on Monday. Explained the problem, he said he'd take care of it. Received a guide rod of the proper length in the mail today.

That is a good price. I just paid $450 + tax for one with two magazines.

No, not kidding. Recently bought the gun. As it was shipped more then 20 years ago, I thought replacing the recoil and magazine springs was prudent. I ordered the guide rod at the same time. I did in fact keep the old guide rod. Looking at the SW site, it specifies the same guide rod for the M...
