Well let's start another thread for S&W warranty...
Dry fired for a field strip before going to the range and the firing pin snapped in half, was a sad Sunday. I'm the 3rd owner and who knows how the previous owners kept and maintained this gun but from what I've been reading it's an old issue and I actually have a 16 year old gun purchased in 97. If anything it held up pretty good for thousands of rounds and many years. S&W gave me the go ahead, got the shipping label and am sending it in today. The FedEx lady was real nice about it, knew it was a gun return and so far seems a little too easy
I'm hoping for upgraded parts and will take pictures of the repairs made. From what I've read on here they're gonna send me a work of art
and hopefully I have many more years trusting my gun and S&W.
