Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Yesterday I took the Boss to Farmville with me where I meet up with a young guy named David. David had a Walther PPK/S .380 in the org. box with the spare clip and 25 rds. of Remington JHP's and a holster.He wanted $450.00 and I got him down to $400.00 the Walther now lives in my house. I just orderd a set of Crimson Trace Laser Grip's for it from this forum and Rick. As soon as I have it fully dressed up I will place some gun porn photo's on the board. Mom will be carrying this baby back and forth to the Hospital where she work's. Don't mess with Mom.

My father has one he loves but please be advised there are some that are being safety recalled.

PRODUCT:

Any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential for causing injury, and we ask that you stop using your pistol immediately.

VERIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION:
When your pistol is returned, you should note a punch dot which appears at the back of the frame. See the photograph below.

Thank's 45XDC
I was fully aware of this when I got the PPK/S and it in fact need's the recall repair. I have already sent to S&W for the paperwork and will be sending the weapon out to them over the next few week's. This is the reason for the reduced cost down to $400.00

Bill,
I was doing a little research on Walther's PPS when I came accrossed the recall. My father did not know about the recall until I called him. He sent his in and received it back within a few weeks, as I recall. BTW, 400.00 is a hell of a deal. I wish I could have picked up the PPS that I purchased for that. I've been very happy with the .40 PPS and am considering picking up anouther Walther at the Hampton Gun show if the price is right.

Don't mess with Mom, indeed!

Can't wait to see pics! (of the PPK/S and laser grips, not of Mom!)

Well, she has an excellent instructor, but knowing Bill I'm sure Mrs Bill could give anyone pointers on shooting.

Hey, Mom ain't bad looking for an old broad (60) next mo.

Rick, I got your E-mail this A.M., Thank's for the 10% discount on the Crimson Trace Grip's saveing over $27.00 is a hell of a break.

Again, thank,s
Bill

The PPK/S is an awesome little pistol. It's what got my wife into shooting. I told her I'd buy here a gun and asked what kind she wanted. She said "James Bond's gun'. It's an awesome little gun to shoot, easy on the recoil and very pointable.

You guys know the PPK/S and the PPS are two completely different guns right ?

Walther PPK/S


Walther PPS

The recall is for PPK and PPK/S. PPS is an entirely different gun.

Does anybody know if those Crimson Trace laser grips also work on the Bersa Thunder 380?
