I posted earlier about my new 617 with 4" bbl shooting high and left.
Just received it back after less than 3 weeks. They mentioned it might take 6 to 8 weeks at this time of year.
Upon opening the box, I noticed a complete rear sight sitting next to the pistol. They replaced and sent back the original rear. The new rear has a slightly lower height blade in the site. Seems like that should take care of the shooting high.
As to the shooting left, they tightened the bbl to the left just a little, so the front sight is canted. I guess I'm ok with that as it is not really noticeable.
I am happy for S&W's customer service.
This weekend I'll get to shoot it to see how the "fix" works.
Thanks again for the previous replies
