Fastbolt,

Thank you kind Sir, for taking the time to write a detailed reply.
I certainly appreciate the information and your insights,
Thanks for sharing and... thanks for alleviating my concerns.
The only reason I have to call S&W right now is to cancel the
replacement slide I've had on backorder since April (not that I
was holding my breath for it). Well, I guess I'll strap this one down
in the milling fixture and get back to what I was doing in
the first place.

Cheers
Bill
