    PSA: Walther PK380 recall

    Not many of us likely have these and the time frame is not long, but just in case:

    Certain Walther PK380 pistols manufactured between May and September 2012 could allow rounds to be discharged when the trigger is pulled despite the safety being engaged.During an internal quality review, Carl Walther GmbH has identified a condition that may exist in certain PK380 pistols which may permit a round to be discharged if the trigger is pulled, despite engagement of the manual safety.Walther has found that engagement of the manual safety may not prevent firing of a chambered round when the trigger is pulled.This recall applies to Walther PK380, .380 ACP pistols manufactured by Carl Walther GmbH from May through September 2012, which have a serial number range from PK101201 to PK112155.STOP USING YOUR PISTOL AND RETURN IT TO WALTHERAMERICA AT ONCE.Any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential to cause injury, and we ask that you stop using your pistol until we have an opportunity to inspect it to make certain that there is no condition which will allow the pistol to discharge with the safety engaged.To facilitate the inspection and repair, if necessary, of your pistol, please contact Waltheramerica’s customer service department at 1-800-713-0356 to receive instructions and a call tag for the return of your pistol to Waltheramerica.Additional information will be posted on Waltheramerica.com.If you have any questions about this recall, please contact Waltheramerica at 1-800-713-0356.

      I may have overreacted because I wanted one.
