MP 45 Shield serial number

[hawkguy]

Recently bought a MP 45 Shield Performance center. Was wondering, is anyone else's serial number on the frame hard to read? Should I be concerned? I searched but didn't find anything. Sorry if there already is a thread for this. Thanks

Hard to read? Concerned? Post a picture so we can see what you are worried about....

As long as the ATF can read it...

I have two, both have what looks like a little extra polymer "bleed over" from when I guess they press the metal SN plate into the frame. Neither obscures the SN. If I cared, I suppose one could trim the polymer back with a razor blade or Exacto knife. So far I have not felt the need. YMMV

Wait, everyone doesn't grind the serials off?

On my M&P 45 Shield the first letter on the frame appears to be smudged.

The last two digits of mine were not engraved/stamped deeply enough and are almost impossible to read. I'm not too concerned though.

My first two letters are thinner than the third letter and the four digits. But they are all clearly readable in good light.
