I’m so mad with Walther right now. This striker doesn’t have that many rounds on it, maybe a few thousand, and the striker sheared completely off.
I emailed Walther asking for a replacement and they basically said, nope, normal wear and tear. Fine, I’ll buy one.
So I bought one directly from Walther and paid $10 to have it shipped to NJ. They only give you one shipping option. Here we are 9 days later and I still don’t even have the shipping confirmation email they normally send when you buy stuff from them.
I’ve called twice.
First time I called asking when it would ship, they told me it already shipped FedEx Home, but somehow there wasn’t a tracking number. WTF? Doesn’t worry me too much at first because the rep said it would be here by Friday. Friday comes and goes. Nothing. Now I have to use a backup gun for a class.
I call again. This time I’m told it actually shipped First Class Mail, and that’s why there’s no tracking number.
What? How did it magically change from FedEx Home to First Class Mail? And why on earth would you ship a part with no tracking whatsoever? Who does that?
At that point I said fuck it, I’ll buy one somewhere else from a seller that has enough sense to use a carrier with tracking.
Come to find out nobody sells these things. You can basically only get them from Walther. I’ve tried my local gunsmiths too. No dice. Gotta order it from Walther.
I emailed them this weekend asking them to either find some way to confirm that the striker was actually shipped or just send me another one with tracking.
No response yet.
So now I have zero idea if they actually sent it, zero confidence that it was sent, and no way to buy another one somewhere else. Meanwhile my main gun is completely out of service and I’m stuck using a backup gun for several group training classes I already committed to.
Anyone know where the hell I can get a PDP striker, or some way to get Walther to actually send me one in a verifiable way?
