Hello, I had a major problem with my 22A a couple of days ago. the rear sight and some of the top part above the slide snapped off when i was shooting it. It looked like just poor manufacturing. have you heard of any recall on these made about 3 years ago? or would this problem fit under the recall even if it was made earlier than the recall date?
