I received a shipping label on 6/20 they received it on 6/23 received another email from SW 7/8 stating they are processing it. So now I'll pace the floor till they get back to me. Hope it will be good news.
Thanks for keeping us abreast of this whole process. As a relatively new convert to the world of metal framed S&W autos myself, I’m near the bottom of the learning curve myself, but working hard to catch up. Like you, I hope they don’t try to replace your real gun with a plastic one!
