MODEL ALL AMERICAN,
9MM LUGER CALIBER, PISTOL
RECALL: It has come to Colt’s attention that All-American double action pistols with serial numbers:
Letter A prefix or suffix
RA01001 – RA01052
RK00001 – RK03000
RM01001 – RM01005
PF01005 – PF24248
MAY ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGE IF STRUCK OR DROPPED
A blow to the rear of the slide while a round is in the chamber can cause the pistol to discharge. The firing mechanism of these pistols will be modified free of charge, and thereby reduce the possibility of accidental discharge resulting from a blow.
MEANWHILE, ALL OWNERS AND SHOOTERS OF THESE PISTOLS ARE CAUTIONED:
Carry this pistol ONLY with the chamber empty.
Never chamber a round until immediately before you are ready to fire.
Always control your pistol so as to prevent its being dropped or struck a blow, especially with a round in the chamber.
If you own one or more of these pistols write to Colt and give them your name, address and pistol serial number of each All-American pistol you own. Send all correspondence to:
Colt Manufacturing Company, Inc.
P.O. Box 1868 Dept. RC2000
Hartford, CT 06144-1868
Please DO NOT SEND YOUR PISTOLS TO COLT at this time. For further information you may call us toll-free at 1-800-426-8001.
