S&W 638-3 finish peeling ?!?
I have a S&W 638 and today I was changing out the factory rubber grips and installing some Pachmayr compac grips. While the grips were off, I noticed that there were chips in the frame under the grip. The gun still functions great and I only noticed this today. Is this normal with these airweights or should I get it checked out? I live in Florida and carry this revolver in the waistband, it gets real hot here and there is no escaping the sweat. I acquired this revolver in a trade and I don't know if S&W will honor their warranty, and another is that this is my only gun for summer carry, so I would hate to be without it. I wanted to know, has anyone else experience this problem? Will this effect the function,reliablity, or longevity of the gun? I posted a pic it's not great, but it will show you where the chipping is located.
