Smith & Wesson has launched a recall on SW1911 pistols with the serial numbers JRD0000 to JRD4750. The issue is the firing pin plunger in the slide. Follow the pdf file link or call 1-800-331-0852 for more information.
Edited to add: Old news..... as in the Lazarus effect.....

S&W makes very good 1911's and supports them well. Every manufacturer can have issues. The question is what do they do about it. S&W did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteand in other news........ ;^P
ReplyDeleteYou can have S&W. I'd NEVER buy a S&W pistol.
ReplyDeleteRevolver, hell yeah, but not a pistol.
I have about 6,500 rounds now through my S&W 1911 Scandium, almost all of them fired quickly. Never a hiccup. The extractor has never, ever failed. It's a great carry gun. Excellent trigger. Only thing I'd change would be more visible sights--my eyes aren't as good as they once were. Three buddies, after trying mine, have bought their own and had the same satisfaction.
