On the other hand, does the OP's Model 12 have the alloy cylinder as well? That might make a difference...
Cheers!
P.S. Personally, I might just consider a Model 15 (Good Luck!) or a 642 or 442 as I now see them available (sans lock, of course!) again.

For some reason this keep being brought up! NO MODEL-MARKED M&P AIRWEIGHT (MODEL 12) HAS EVER HAD AN ALUMINUM CYLINDER. Only some of the earliest
pre-model marked guns ever had the aluminum cylinders, and the Air Force M-13 series. If you have any number SCSW try reading it, you will see this is correct!
