Seems like every other pistol Walther comes out with these days gets recalled.

Heck, seems like every other pistol from any given brand gets recalled these days.

Thanks for posting that.... I bought the PPS M2 for Christmas last year. Then became ill for several months- haven't had a chance to shoot it but once. I have been trying to arrange my first range trip for this year....and NOW- I see mine is in the recall. Rats........

I wonder if Walther devotees will go on their discussion boards and proclaim they'll never buy another Walther.

How did we survive before everything had to be fool proof? LOL

Soon as I checked my email- I had one from Walther. I filled out the form online and am now waiting on a shipping label. Gun boxed up and ready to ride.

Actually.... I never did warm up to the Walther....just don't like the grip. Will probably trade it away when it gets back. I pulled the log on it- I had put 92 rounds total through it with 1 fail to eject around round 20-all else good. That thing has 3 mags- a 6, 7, and 8 rounder.
Oh well.....

You've never been to the Walther Forum, have you? Basically, everyone there only likes the Walther of several decades past and is completely disdainful of anything Walther has come out with since the 1970s. If anything, they're thrilled to have another reason to proclaim the inferiority of modern-day Walther firearms.

Walther's P99AS and compact were a hit. Striker fired....but with a "real" sa/da trigger and a decocker.

Mines on the recall too...I'll wait to send it in. I've dropped it while clocked directly on the striker plate and it didn't go off. Walther is saying that the trigger safety isn't working right.

No, I have not. That is interesting to note, however.

The only reason I'd consider buying a Walther is because I'm a James Bond fan. Other than that, I doubt I'd ever bite.
