PPK Recall

[DCWilson]

My PPK/S took 10 weeks -- sent late March, back mid-June. They work sheet said they polished the ramp in addition to doing the recall parts replacement. The job sheet didn't mention it, but they also cleaned it up a bit -- the surface was a little smoother, rub marks on the barrel had been cleaned up, that kind of thing.

Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet -- other stuff intervened. I'm going to burn a lot of ammo come August when the days open up again.

I am in the same boat. It has almost been 4 months.

UPDATE: called S&W today it will be in my hands tomorrow (it was received by them April 4). At least that is what the tracking # says.

Back today as promised. They did polish the feed ramp.

I got mine back today, after 17 weeks, good excuse to go to the range. However I got two magazines sent by S&W in May, so I have not had a need to look at them; they must be for a PPK/S as they hold seven rounds. Back to the E-mail.

I dont think I will send mine back. Anyone else feel that way?

Just wait until the initial rush is over and then send it in and it will only take a couple of days.

The last thing you want it an unsafe pistol.

Back Finally!!!!

Thursday (07/23) I got a letter from S&W apologizing for the delay in the repair of my PPK that I had sent in 03/29/09. Luckily on Friday (07/24) my wife was home when FEDEX came. It wasn't announced, I didn't receive an email from S&W or anything (even in the letter) . There was a letter with it and they said that they "polished the ramp of the barrel" and "repaired decock lever system".

The "punch dot" was where they said it was suppose to be and the ramp has been polished. Now all I have to do is find some ammo that the LCP users haven't found and head for the range. So those of you that sent in after I did - the "ckeck" is in the mail.

I have moaned about having to wait 17 weeks to get my PPK back, well today I got to take it to the range. This is a great little pistol, it goes bang when you ask and it is accurate.
I bought this pistol for my wife but she found the slide too hard to rack so I bought her a Bersa, I inherited the PPK, lucky me. I had not had the opportunity to put a number of rounds through this pistol until today, it was fun. Thank S&W.

We did the same thing... I've learned when shopping for her we make sure she racks the slide and pulls the trigger. She can't even pull the trigger on the ppk...

Now that I have decided to get myself a PPK, I called one of my local dealers today. They said that they don't currently have any and are expecting them any day; the sent their stock in to have them upgraded/repaired and also are awaiting their return. My question is, did S&W also polish the feed ramp on pistols returned to have the decocker upgrade; it seemed like a lot of people reported having this done automatically as well which also makes me wonder if that wasn't a problem too.

I don't see how--mine fed fine before. I figured it was just something nice that they did extra since it was there for awhile.

Got mine back yesterday, 8/17/09. My grips were replaced also, they had some discoloration due to some spray on gun cleaner. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. S&W recieved it 5/14.
