Hi, everyone. I've been flipping sub compacts (mostly single stack 9mms) like they're extras in a kung fu movie. I finally picked up a new Shield (w/o the safety) and I have a couple of questions.

One, are the magazines stainless steel? I read that they were, but they don't seem like it to me.

Two, and more importantly, assuming I keep my factory sights for now, the right rear dot isn't filled in all the way. The funny thing is that the XDS I just got rid of had the opposite problem; the right rear dot had too much paint (it was a convex blob of paint). What should I do? I hate to try painting it and making it look less than perfect, but what is S&W's customer service like?

Thanks!
