Thanks for your feedback on the other post. I decided to just send her back, as Flitz and Mothers just made the scratches pretty and shiny. And it being new and all, I figured it was just one that slipped thru quality control. And for almost $600.00 for gun and transfer I figured it should start out nice, and if I scratch it that is different. Thanks for the help and advice! If anyone has sent one back let me know if they will replace or repair the slide? Thanks
