XDS 9 & 45 recall

This all supposedly stems from a guy on XDtalk who was having double taps (and that issue was never really followed up on from what I recall).

A month or so later (April iirc), another guy there said he had his 9mm go full-auto for 7 rounds when he dropped the slide at the range :eek:, and showed some pics of the aftermath. He never said what Springfield finally told him, but the recall came about shortly after they'd told him they were a week away from knowing what went wrong with his gun.

Nobody was hurt, but he hit his range bag with one of the rounds. It is worth noting that he'd been having trigger problems with his, and had already sent it in once for that issue. From what I remember reading, the trigger wouldn't move forward when he loaded the gun and put the slide into battery, which to me seems to be a pretty big flag that something was wrong. He claims the gun was stock, and had no trigger mods, but I'm not completely convinced.
 
CZ just announced a recall on some of the 455 Varmints, both .22 and .17, due to safety concerns on the single set trigger.

Just saying, things happen
 
Springfield has always been a great company. I am sure they will make everything right. As with any shooting remember the fundamental safety rules at all times. Hopefully no one is seriously injured.

Dang it, mine is in there.

the cynical me wonders if this is a round about way to do back ground checks on pistols that may have been a private sale ? HMMMM, ponderous :)
