WARRANTY
For Owners Within The United States
This warranty is granted by Smith & Wesson. This warranty is
effective from the date of purchase after February 1, 1989 and
applies to the original owner of any handgun purchased after that
date. With respect to such handguns, this warranty supersedes
any and all other warranties.
Smith & Wesson handguns are warrantied to be free from defects
in material and workmanship. Any such defects of which
Smith & Wesson receives written notice within one year from the
date of purchase by the original owner, will be remedied by
Smith & Wesson without charge within a reasonable time after
such notification and delivery of the handgun as provided below.
The EXTENDED SER
VICE POLICY begins after the warranty
period has expired. Smith & Wesson will repair, without charge,
any handgun purchased by the original owner on or after
February 1, 1989 that is found to have a defect in material or
workmanship. Eligibility for this extended service policy requires
returning the Product Registration Card within 30 days of pur-
chase. The Extended Service Policy covers functional defects; it
does not include the handgun’s finish, grips, magazines or sights.
The Extended Service Policy is in addition to and not an exten-
sion of the Smith & Wesson Warranty.
In the event of an emergency (repairs needed by law enforce-
ment, an upcoming match or hunting trip), call 1-800-331-0852,
ext. 2905 and ask for 911 PRIORITY REP
AIR SERVICE. This
allows you to speak with a Smith & Wesson representative.
Immediately upon receipt, your handgun will be assigned to a
gunsmith. After the work is completed, we will return your Smith
& Wesson handgun via overnight delivery.
Warranty claims (in writing) and the handgun concerned should
be delivered to Smith & Wesson’s Customer Service Department.
In addition, a copy of the bill of sale in the owner’s name, or a
copy of ATF Form 4473 indicating date of purchase must be
included.
Warranty claims should state the model and serial number of the
handgun concerned and the description of the difficulty experi-
enced. It is recommended that shipments be insured by the
owner, since Smith & Wesson will accept no responsibility for loss
or damage in transit. Transportation and insurance charges for
return to owner will be paid by Smith & Wesson if the claim is
covered by the warranty.
