Re: Replacement frame with new serial number. Original frame destroyed.

My new serial number is EAE2**, my old serial number was EAA.

Initial thoughts, much heavier spring and new slide pin is extremely hard to remove. At least it shouldn't come out. I did notice that I don't have the "ring" around the laser button. I thought that was the new frame that people are receiving after sending in a pistol with the problem. I'll get it to the range to see how it performs. I can tell right now that the laser is way off.
