Over the last few days we’ve seen a couple of videos going around that show a brand new Winchester SXP firing unintentionally. This has since “triggered” a recall that should be taken seriously. Fortunately we haven’t heard of anyone being hurt. Another reason why you are taught not to point your gun at anything you don’t want to shoot!
Here is the first video we saw regarding this issue: Click here
Here is the recall information from Winchester: Click here
Winchester Repeating Arms has discovered that a limited number of SXP (3 1⁄2″ chamber) shotguns (also called the Super X Pump) may, under certain circumstances, unintentionally discharge while closing the action. Failure to return any affected shotguns for inspection and/or repair may create a risk of harm, including serious personal injury or death.
If you own one of the following firearms, please immediately contact our Winchester Consumer Administrative Center to find out if your firearm is affected and should be returned. Please be prepared to provide the serial number of your firearm.
