Ill start off by saying until today i had nothing but praise for this gun. Edc since the day i bought it new about 8mo ago. Grip and slide ergonomics, top notch. Metalurgy on the other hand, leaves something to be desired.
Was doing draw and reload drills at the range, maybe 20-25 rounds in, and while im looking down the sights after firing theres something black protruding from the slide. I thought id got my first stovepipe. Turns out it was something far worse! Parts of the slide mechanism under the chamber indicator had blown off! Only ever use 115g brass in fmj. >800 rounds
I plan on calling s&w in the morning and taking advantage of the waranty. Anyone ever lost a pistol this way? Whats the broken part of the slide called anyway? Exp with s&w customer service?
