Walther PPS M2 recall

Just a heads up for PPS M2 owners.

[hile]

Alas, mine is affected. My ex wife's former CCP was, too. That said, Walther's service is top notch.

Sent that link to my brother his EDC is a PPS M2.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is in the range and it’s my EDC. Walther could never get my PPQ 40 running right and they were jerks about it to boot. I hope they don’t screw this up too. Does anyone know if the trigger feel will be impacted?

I took it to the local Office Max, who is a FedEX shipper but she told me that they can't ship guns because they don't have the license for it . It wasn't worth the argument. I got a medium-size express shipping box from her, put the gun in it, slapped the label on, and put it in the drop box next to their front door. I have a PPS that I can carry in the interim if I need to.

After submitting my information I received a confirmation email from Walther. However, I have yet to received the FedEx shipping label. For those who have submitted, did the FedEx label come at the same time as the confirmation email or was it sometime later?

I printed the label, put the box in a FedEX drop box on 11/22. It was delivered back to me on 12/03. Trigger feels the same.

That sounds like a felony.

You have to inform the shipper that there is a firearm in the box. That didn't automatically happen just because Walther purchased a shipping label. Plus, you left a handgun in a not-so-secure box outside.

Sounds like a felony...

It’s legal for me to ship a pistol by common or contract carrier to a manufacturer, and a manufacturer can ship it back directly to me by the same route. Obviously I told her it was a firearm, which is how she knew and then refused. There’s nothing illegal about popping the box into a dropbox, and of course in that case, there’s no one to inform. So.....no problem.

I received my PPS M2 back yesterday. The trigger seems to feel the same. They sprayed the slide down with something that stripped every bit of oil away and didn't bother to lubricate it when they were done. It now has the pressed dot inside the grip frame. I'll take it shooting tomorrow to see if the trigger feels different at all.

The practical problem with this is that the people at UPS and FedEx have no clue what to do nor do they document that someone has made them aware that a firearm is being shipped. Neither my company's UPS or FedEx representative nor either driver did anything when I told them that I'm shipping a firearm. I send an email to my representative simply because notifying the driver, the person who is most likely to steal or divert the contents of a package, is just plain stupid. The fact that the government would put such a requirement in place shows just how detached from reality they are. Most people can't notify a UPS or FedEx sales representative like I can. For them, I'd suggest simply sending a message to the carrier's customer service email. You'll have a record that you provided notification.
