Walther Arms has identified a potential condition in Walther CCP pistols that could potentially cause it to discharge if dropped whether the manual safety is engaged (on) or disengaged (off).
Walther Arms has voluntarily initiated a recall on their CCP pistols. Apparently there is a drastic flaw in some of the manufactured pistols that if the firearm is dropped, it can discharge whether the safety is on or not.
According to Walther Arms‘ website, they are fixing the firearms for free. Here’s what they say about the issue:
“The safety of our customers is our paramount concern so we have voluntarily initiated this recall because of the possibility of a drop-fire occurring.
Please do not load or fire your Walther CCP pistol and contact us immediately to arrange to have your pistol upgraded free of charge.
