Corrosion on slide and takedown lever

[asawoo]

I'm the second owner of a gently used M&P9 Pro 5" and I just noticed some corrosion on the slide and takedown lever. It had been in the factory case for a couple weeks.

Will S&W fix this if I send it back to them?

Thanks.

Yes... I bought a used Vtac.40 and it had piece of fiber optic missing on the sight and a small blemish on the slide and they replaced the sights and entire slide. I just simply called Customer Service and told them I owned a Vtac told them issues and they said send it to us and they fixed it

NOT a good idea leaving it in the case once it's been fired and the factory storage lube has been cleaned off. Lucky it wasn't worse.

Didn't even dawn on me. I'm taking it out right now!

Thank you!

Don't throw the case away,it's great for transport to the range,shipping back to S&W if there's a problem. AND best for resale if you should ever deside to. Careful about putting a VERY HOT gun back in with the foam lining.

Problem is,the case can hold moisture and that's where you can get into trouble. I always keep the oily wax paper that the gun is wrapped in too.

ALWAYS wipe down your handgun (or any gun) with a light coat, oiled rag to take off moisture from hand prints or any use.
