Smith & Wesson is recalling all Walther PPK and PPK/S guns manufactured between March 2002 and early this month. The Springfield firm said a defect could allow the $605 weapon to go off without anyone pulling the trigger. It wants to do a remake. Dire risk of no sequel. Boston Herald.

This could have a negative impact on the greater Houston house-breaking industry.
