Default 9mm shield with a unfinished barrel crown

While waiting for my return label for my .40 with dropping magazines I found a 9mm at a local gun show and had to pick it up. Everything works as it should and I have a little more than 100 rounds through it. Cleaning up after my shoot I noticed as others the barrel crown isn't finished as nicely as my .40. It looks like they didn't polish it. Very much like the other guy on here that sent his in for a defective barrel. I'm thinking it is more cosmetic than anything as accuracy wasn't a problem. I watched the pistol smith at my range put two magazines into a silver dollar size whole with it. What do you guys think?

If cosmetics are important to you, call S&W...

If accuracy is important to you, don't let that pistol out of your sight!

jchadmullins,

Did you purchase it to LOOK AT or to SHOOT IT?

Sorry about you having to send your 40 back.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking but I noticed a couple of people had sent theirs back for this same reason. Just making sure I wasn't missing something. Definitely a keeper! I shot it pretty well myself but my pistol guy is amazing.

I think I'd leave well enough alone, if it shoots well.
