Used PM40 questions

[gtmtnbiker98]

I have an opportunity to purchase a used PM40 at a good price. It was manufactured in 2003 and has the older style sight dove tails. What year was the large recall and what is the possibility of this weapon being subject to the recall? I don't want to buy a weapon subject to a recall (original warranty extends to original buyer). TIA

It was a PM9 recall:

what is your definition of a good price?

I paid 400 dollars for my used PM40. It was like new, with box, paperwork, two mags, etc. That was a little over two years ago. It also functions flawlessly. I prefer shooting my PM9, but the PM40 isn't unmanageable. Great combination of
firepower and portability.
