I cannot imagine what "small parts" started falling out of the black factory grips.
It might help if you posted pictures.
Call Jim Rae at S&W's Performance Center. Tell them what is going on. Don't over talk it - they don't need to know how you got it - just tell them you bought it from a gun retailer and that it did this the first time you fired it. Be sure when you send it in that you send all of the small parts that you say came out of the grips.
Also, you might tell them while it is there that you want them to install the standard factory mainspring instead of the "bossed" mainspring and a standard length strain screw and the extra travel length firing pin.
Tell them you are more concerned about reliable ignition than weight of trigger pull.
Be sure to put all of this in a letter when you send it in to S&W. Be sure you letter gives them your shipping address and your day time telephone number. Keep a record of your serial number and your shipping receipt so that you can track your shipment and know when S&W receives it. When you call after it arrives, you will need to give them your serial number so they can track it within the factory to the specific technician who is working on your gun in case you have questions.
