(GunReports.com) — Carl Walther GmbH has found that manual safeties on some PK380 pistols don’t work properly. Certain PK380 pistols may permit a round to be discharged if the trigger is pulled, despite the manual safety being engaged.
This recall applies to Walther PK380 380 ACP pistols manufactured by Carl Walther GmbH from May through September 2012, which have a serial number range from PK101201 to PK112155.
WaltherAmerica recommends that owners of PK380 380 ACP pistols in that serial number range stop using the pistol and return it to the company for repair.
A statement from the company said, “Any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential to cause injury, and we ask that you stop using your pistol until we have an opportunity to inspect it to make certain that there is no condition which will allow the pistol to discharge with the safety engaged.”
To facilitate the inspection and repair, if necessary, of your pistol, please contact Waltheramerica’s customer service department at 1-800-713-0356 to receive instructions and a call tag for the return of your pistol to WaltherAmerica. Additional information will be posted on WaltherAmerica.com.
