All owners of firearms should periodically check to determine if a manufacturer has issued a safety recall for their weapons.

Several years ago I inherited two handguns which, unknown to me, had been recalled - a Junior Pocket Colt .25 ACP and a 'Old-Model' Single-Six Ruger revolver.

A 'Firearms recalls' web search finds this very outdated listing of prior recalls.

Manufacturer websites will also list specific recall notices.

Since this involves a safety issue, I would respectfully suggest that the moderators may wish to make this post a sticky.

I filled out the recall form on Colts wesite on July 3rd and received my replacment recoil spring assembly for my Defender today. Kudos to Colt for their quick attention to my needed replacment parts even with his being a holiday weekend.
