Yes I did register it.
S&W replied again, this time with a return form to fill out for a shipping label. Also said 8-10 week turn around time. That is disheartening, to be without my new pistol for possibly 2 1/2 months.
Believe me, I am extremely disappointed with the situation.
I will call on Monday and request to speak with a QC supervisor.
Thanks for the replies.
