Winchester Q4355 ammo.
The FBI is working with Winchester on a potentially serious condition affecting all recently
produced .40 S&W, Winchester, Q4355, 180grain, Bonded SERVICE ammunition.**Some of the
cartridge casings were produced without a flash hole.**This condition completely eliminates
the ability of this Service cartridge to fire – this is a “silent killer” in that no visual inspection by
FBI personnel can detect this manufacturing defect and it would only be known at the time the
Agent attempted to fire their handgun. A limited number of problems have been reported
however this is such a dangerous condition immediate action across the FBI is necessary.

Affected ammunition will have a four character “day code”, two letters, two numbers, i.e., FA
42. All Q4355 with day codes beginning with the letter F and any Q4355 with the two letter
combination of EN are included in this recall.
This ammunition must be removed from FBI service weapons and magazines IMMEDIATELY.

Again, boxed ammunition with the following codes must be removed from service
IMMEDIATELY:
Product Code: Q4355
Day Code: Any code beginning with F or EN

Spread the word. We don't need anybody hearing a "click" when he expects a "bang."

Is this the stuff that comes in the white box w/ black lettering? I hope it has nothing to do with the PDX1.
