Smith & Wesson firearms are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Any such defects of which Smith & Wesson receives written notice within one year from the date of purchase by the original owner, will be remedied by Smith & Wesson without charge...

Smith & Wesson’s Lifetime Service Policy begins after the war- ranty period has expired. Smith & Wesson will repair, without charge, for the lifetime of the original owner, any Smith & Wesson handgun purchased on or after February 1, 1989, and any M&P15 series rifle, that is found to have a defect in material or workmanship. Eligibility for this Lifetime Service Policy requires returning the Product Registration Card within 30 days of pur- chase. The Lifetime Service Policy covers functional defects; it does not include the firearm’s finish, grips, magazines or sights. The Lifetime Service Policy is in addition to and not an extension of the Smith & Wesson Warranty.
According to the warranty, this is not the case. It says, "Smith & Wesson will repair, without charge, for the lifetime of the original owner, any Smith & Wesson handgun purchased on or after February 1, 1989,..." That would include any Gen 3 gun made after that date.Lifetime until they decide to start building something else...then you will be cast aside like all the 3rd Gen owners!

Contrary to what some folks would like to believe, "Plumb worn out" does not qualify as a defect in material or workmanship.![]()
