S&W Issues Recall for Walther PPK/PPKs Models

Soucey signed for mine on 3/31/09.

I got it back today. Merle Botting repaired it. Polished feed ramp also.

(PPK/S)

Recall

What a difference a day makes! Soucey signed for mine on 03/30, and it showed up on 06/9. Soucey signed for Roger P's on 03/31, and his showed up on 06/24.
 
Any PPK owners get any updates for S&W on availability of the elusive spring that PPK/S owners don't require? Was told something definitive was coming tues or wed of this week but that to has passed. Perhaps by the end of the week . Then again.....
 
PPK/s returned

Got mine back this morning from FEDX. S&W received it 04/01. I sent it in with no grips and they sent it back with grips. I am satisfied. The gun is safe now. They also polished the feed ramp.
 
Called 3 weeks ago and was told it would be another one to three weeks on my ppk. Still not here so I guess just another lie from S&W:mad:
 
Sent an email to Smith on Monday. Today's Thursday. Have not heard a word,, no confirm on the email, nothing.

Smith has had my gun since April 2nd.

I am disappointed.

I didn't buy a Smith in the 90's because of the back-door deals the English owners made with the Clinton administration. I wouldn't even look at one. Once Smith was re-bought by the American "former" Execs, I gave them another look. Own more than a few now.

I am disappointed.

Don't know what I'll do in the future, but;

I am disappointed.

Did I mention I'm disappointed? Life's too short for me to give my business to a company that treats me like this :mad:.
 
My Walther USA E Mail contact/pen pal is now avoiding me so I called once again and after stopping the gal from doing the let's see, you sent it in on... schtick by telling her this is my 15th call and yes, it is a PPK, not a PPK/S she said oh , ok, we were supposed to get the springs in this week but that never happened. She has no idea why, believes they are coming from overseas but didn't know where. I asked what the expected date is now and her reply was "about 4-6 weeks after we receive the springs". I thanked her for once again pushing the ETA out another 4-6 weeks. Told her to have a nice summer and I'll talk to her around the Christmas holidays. Is this what obama meant about bitter gun owners? :confused:
 
Well after Jacobie's "spy camera" question, and now with Bignz's audio link, it is all clear to me now!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I'm sure this is a reference to something I slept through! LOL
 
Bignz, excellent catch. I wasn't sure if anyone here would get the refrence, but waiting on my PPK makes me think of that everyday as I check my front door for the UPS post-it.
 
Marty - If memory serves this episode of the Simpsons has Bart sending away for a spy camera and months pass while he pesters the mail lady every day. Not perfectly analogous to our situation, but I do feel like holding the UPS driver responsible some days.
 
Jacobie, Bignz, thanks for filling me in on the inside joke.... I "get it!" Glad to hear you guys are still maintaining some humor in this situation! Hang in there, sometime, eventually, all our PPK guys/gals will be reunited with their pistol! Right now your fate is in their hands. After the guns are returned, you can decide what to do after that, i.e. future purchases, etc. Thank God that for now, at least, you are still allowed to have them! But don't get me started on that thread!!!!!
 
The notice was hanging on my door today.

S&W logged mine in on April 7th and it is back June 29th.

This is likely my last post (unless there is some problem with their work) but I'll continue to watch your responses. Thanks for the commiseration over the past several months.
 
See attached pictures.

The first picture makes me happy. That is the gun at home on my reloading bench.

The second picture will always remind me of these 3 ridiculous months. It looks like when they struck the mark into my frame they double hit the punch and I got a stupid double tap mark. Maybe someone brought their 10 year old to work and let him smack a few marks into my gun. Am I overreacting?

Double punch

Send an e-mail to S&W with the photo of the double punch, and share with the forum what their response is. I'd be unhappy too!
 
I wish S&W had used a more unique mark than simple punch mark. A dishonest seller could simply punch mark one and claim lost paperwork. Does the paperwork even say anything about "recall repair" ? Sent mine in the middle of May, probably won't see it in July.
