Recall information as posted by Smith and Wesson…

Smith & Wesson has identified a condition that may exist in certain model 22-A pistols. Based on our ongoing product review, we have determined that the slides of certain pistols manufactured from August 1, 2008 to February 19, 2009, may not meet the design specification. This can create a situation where insufficient headspace exists creating a risk of unintended discharge.

And what pistols are being recalled…

This recall applies only to 22-A pistols manufactured from August 1, 2008 to February 19, 2009. Affected pistols fall within the following serial number range:

UBW0000 – UBW9999
UBY0000 – UBY4104

I’m rather glad that the 22A I recently purchased isn’t on that list.
