Re: Did I just toast the slide on my M&P?
So I went back to the gun store that sent out my M&P today to pick it up. Smith received the gun on the 3rd so I was pretty happy to get it back rather quickly until I found out why.

Re: Did I just toast the slide on my M&P?
LOL, I know this must sound stupid, and it does have "STAINLESS STEEL" stamped on the outside of the slide, so I'm sure you're right... The fact of the rest of the slide is fine also makes me think...
