In Belgium, yes. It still requires permits to send a gun there.

I wrote S&W a letter explaining how this gun does not exhibit the level of accuracy I would expect from a $2000+ Performance Center gun, and I also mentioned the ambi safety that does not stay put and the rough bore and chamber finish.

It will be interesting to see how they reply.

If I were in the States S&W would probably take the pistol in for a check up. But as I am in Europe there will be extra legal work to move the gun across borders and I do not know what are S&Ws gunsmithing capabilities here in Europe.

I wrote in my letter that if they do not consider the gun eligible for warranty work, then at least sell me a new barrel I can have locally fitted.
