RECALL: Walther PPK safety recall

[Missourian]

I was reading Outdoor Life this morning and found a recall notice for the Walther PPK of certain years.

The notice warns that "a condition might exist in which a round may discharge without the trigger being pulled".

Evidently there is a flaw with the block safety, so remove any round from the firing chamber.

Go to S&W's site or the Walther USA site for more information.

This has been a public service announcement...you may now return to your regularly scheduled thread.

Let's hope James Bond is reading this.
