I got a return email from S&W/Walther today. It was short and sweet and said:


I will send it out tomorrow or Thursday and see what happens...

Any updates yet?

Lmao is it just me but is 50k rounds a lot to shoot with just one gun. I guess I'm still somewhat younger but can't wait to put 50k rounds through all my guns. I hope Walther or S&W makes it right and gives you a new slide even though I dought they even shot that many rounds through one lol.

They should give you a brand new one just for putting as many miles as you did on this one! Walter not have 50k+ recognition club?!

 

[VUPDblue]

still haven't heard back. will email them ASAP

 

[headleyj]

Im sure walther will take care of u

 

[valmoth]

with 50,000 rounds, you at least got your moneys worth!

I would be interested to know about any other wear problems with 50k through it. Notice anything? If not, that's pretty outstanding.

S&W customer service is awesome, I take it that S&W is repairing it, or is it going to be someone else since it is a "Walther"?

I bought an Encore ProHunter frame from a guy and it had a "trigger job" done on it. I bought it thru the mail and after I put a barrel on it and a stock set, I noticed that it had a super light trigger. I'm all for a nice trigger job, but this thing had a 12 ounce trigger. With the trigger so light, it worried me, so I cocked the hammer and slapped the side of the buttstock with the palm of my hand and it fired the hammer. Then I cocked it again and tried to push the hammer forward with my thumb, it did not take much force for it to release. So I contacted S&W and they sent me a prepaid Fed-Ex label less than two weeks ago. I get home today and the frame is already back. Repaired and works like it is supposed too. Although the repair sheet did not indicate a trigger job, it sure feels like they did a factory trigger job on it. It breaks crisp right at 3 lbs and no issues with an unsafe trigger job as before.

WOW! I didn't know Gemtech handled Walther Cust Service now.

Hope they get it fixed and back to you soon.

my gun came back from S&W today with a brand new slide! I couldn't be happier to have my favorite plinker back...and they didn't charge me a dime.

That's been my experience with S&W Cust Service.
