Smith and Wesson has initiated a "recall" of the Performance Center Model 329's that were Distributed through Lew Horton Distributing of Westboro MA.
There were two models produced (a PD style with black finish and a stainless finish). The problem with the gun stems from the fact that they mated a one piece stainless barrel onto the Scandium Frame and they had to torque the barrel into the frame -- they say there is a chance that the barrel may go flying down range if it had been over torqued.
NOTE: This recall does not affect the standard 329 guns that had a two piece sleeved barrel.
I know about this because I got a call about my serial #77 in both guns --- I declined to send them back because their solution to the recall is to send a PC tuned 329 w/the sleeved barrel and without the special serial number.
