1076 Returned from the factory today. Recall work fixed

[Ky6906fan]

I read somewhere on the forum that there was a recall on the 1076. I bought mine used so don't have much history on it.
I read that there would be two dots around the decocker marking that it had been fixed. I couldn't find any dots etc so I called Smith and Wesson in Late July.

They sent me a shipping label and I dropped it off at a FEDEX Hub. Pretty smooth process and the CS was top notch.

FEDEX just dropped it off to me this afternoon.

Surprised they still have parts.

That is good customer service for a pistol that has not been in production for 30 odd years.

I was shocked myself. Pretty happy with Smith. Talked to several folks that are now in TN, but service is still up North.

Did they put the dots under the decocker? I sent in my brothers 1076 a while back, they said they did the recall fix, but didn't mark it.

What is/was the problem?

What is/was the problem?

The original grips are brittle. If the gun is dropped on the grips, the grip can break and in the case of a 3rd gen pistol make it unusable. So they replace the grips. I don't think they do anything else.

Different recall. The grips themselves have a dimple on the bottom indicating they are new material. This recall affected lots of models.
There was a different recall on the frame decocker gun that was indicated by 2 dimples under the decocker.

I thought was the 1066 with the decocker issue, I have one?
EDIT: I meant to say 1076, the 1066 has the slide mounted de-cocker, I knew that? Jeesh, I got too many guns? lol

thought it was the frame de-cocker that had issues, mine was made post issues.

Funny they wanted the magazines returned also. I wonder what mag issues they were looking for, and if they were marked after inspection as well.

I used to send in my used S&W revolvers and pistols in for a looking over just because it was free. I used to purposely not send the mags. They usually sent me the gun back with a free mag in it.

I had that happen once with a Sigma. Never had it happen with any other model.

I never had them ask me to send in mags. I have probably sent in close to 10 pistols for various things.

I don't understand what you're asking?

It was the frame decocker models. The 1066 you mention is a slide decocker.

Probably because they were trying to get rid of their Sigma mags!

No marks at all.
