During my usual new gun takedown and cleaning, I noticed the end of the takedown lever retaining wire on my shield 9mm was buggered and sticking out a mm or so from the frame, enough that the slide rubbed it bright. This being my first M&P I don't know what the retaining wire is supposed to look like when installed properly, and I'm hoping someone here can fill me in. To my eye it looks like the end of a paper clip that was chewed on with dull tin snips.
Thanks for the replies--it didn't look right to me, either. Not sure how this one got out of the factory looking like this
Appreciate any info,
Todd
