Thanks for all the info and advice guys. I'm trying to avoid that call to S&W by any means. If its just cosmetic I can live with that. I can't afford to be without my snubbie for one day much less two - six weeks. My M&P40 and my SR9 is way too big for summer carry. Another member told me to put some Johnsons Floor Paste Wax on the gun and this should put an end to my peeling/corrsion problem, all I have to do is coat it every two weeks. If this works I should be fine. It's a tool and some scratches here and there won't hurt, I just don't want it to foul up on me.
