I had the safety on and was just looking at it and holding it in the palm of my right hand with my thumb on the hammer. I bought a couple of brand new magazines for it and while manually cycling a few rounds through to see if the new ones fed properly, the chamber had a round in it and the hammer was cocked. Roy, I bought a CZ-52 chambered in 7.62×25 a few months ago from a guy in Texas. The Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols affected were made by Smith & Wesson from Mato Februwith the following serial numbers: 0010BAB – 9999BAB 0000BAC – 9999BAC 0000BAD – 9999BAD 0000BAE – 9999BAE 0000BAF – 9999BAF 0000BAH – 9999BAH 0000BAJ – 9999BAJ 0000BAK – 9999BAK 0000BAL – 5313BAL 0000BAM – 1320BAM 0000LTD – 0499LTD 0001PPK – 1500PPK 0026REP – 0219REP 0001WLE – 0459WLE If you own a Walther PPK or PPK/S made during this time period and it has one of the serial numbers listed above, Smith & Wesson asks that you STOP USING YOUR PISTOL and return it to Smith & Wesson for a free replacement of the hammer block. Smith & Wesson engineers found that after chambering a round and disengaging the safety, there is a possibility that lowering the hammer will fire the chambered round without pulling the trigger. The issue was found that some Walther PPK and PPK/S semiautomatic handguns will fire a chambered round without the trigger being pulled.

A safety issue exists in some of these pistols that may cause serious injury or fatality. The company requests that you stop using your Walther PPK or PPK/S manufactured by Smith & Wesson from Mato Februimmediately. Smith & Wesson announced a safety recall on certain Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols.
