FYI: Smith & Wesson issues recall for PPK and PPK/S

[Stiofan]

Heads up to any owners of S&W PPK and PPK/S pistols. There was recall done today for the gun firing without using the trigger but releasing the hammer.

Smith & Wesson has identified a condition that may exist in certain PPK and PPK/S pistols which may permit a round to be discharged without the trigger being pulled. When the manual safety is disengaged, Smith & Wesson’s Product Engineering Group has determined that the possibility exists in certain firearms that lowering the hammer may cause a chambered round to fire.

My PPK/S was manufactured back in the mid 90's. I guess I dodged that bullet.
