Possible defect on the manual safety of Walther PK380 pistols
We have been notified by Carl Walther GmbH that during an internal quality check, they may have detected a possible defect on the manual safety of Walther PK380 pistols being prepared for shipment. Walther was able to identify the possible affected pistols to a serial number range PK 101201 - PK 112155, shipped between May and September 2012. Walther asks that you immediately stop the delivery of these pistols. Walther will soon provide additional details that will be communicated to you.

Thanks for the post. Will be checking with new owner of my old gun to verify that mine was not a death trap I sold him. That sucks to hear I really liked those guns..

Sure need to get the word out to everyone that owns on on these to make sure they can work & correct this problem, looks like there is 10954 out there if my math is right! 112155-101201 = 10954

Yea, I have one that the safty will not work on, however it was ceracoated when I bought it, so I would assume the warranty work would be void.
