That's an interesting system.

Since there were so few of these guns made, I can't answer your question. There have been post here, as recently as last week, where someone was told that their 3rd Gen gun couldn't be fixed and was offered a M&P at a discount, or could have the broken gun returned to them.

I just can't see where S&W would tell a customer that their gun couldn't be repaired AND that S&W wouldn't send it back.

I just used small nylon brushes and qtips to clean the barrel hood and inside of slide.

Do you know of anyone who sent a gun with this type of failure and was able to get it back? I'm just trying to better understand my options as well.
