Kinda goes for any pistol that uses a hinged or paddle safety in the trigger, they can and do get stuck for various reasons, won't keep it from firing, but ends up bypassing one of the passive safeties.

Not a recall, just a safety bulletin. From what I have read other places, it's not a whole lot of the pistols.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine works as it should, not that I would really be worried if that particular "safety feature" didn't.

Lurking in the SOMD Underground.

So is there a general concensus that these pistols are still safe if thy pass inspection?

Is there a re-inspection requirement? Ala, do they go bad or are we talking about a factory defect that just needs identified and repaired once?
