Just send the replacement parts and a DVD on how to replace it.

If I had a firearm, I would not want it out of my control at this late date.

A nice ploy to get a number of firearms out of the hands of the public.
I am surprised there has not been more "SAFETY" recalls.

Considering that the weapon is a hammerless striker fired/DAO only trigger set up, this is a really big deal

yea figured it had to be striker fired. I'd never really feel confident about it if I had one, although there are some really nice striker fired pistols I'd like the have, like that HK P7 squeeze cocker

Love the P7's! The most bizarre pistol under $1,000. The most bizarre pistol under $2,000 is the Liberator. The most bizarre pistol under $3,000 is... uh, donno, I don't have $3,000 to blow on a pistol.
