I think after reading many of your posts I have to wonder about you and if you. That you think it is BS for Smith & Wesson to charge you for something you admit "YOU" screwed up. Many have praised S&W for going above and beyond the call of duty in honoring warrenty claims and trying to make things right when there is even a hint of a possibility they were at fault. For you to whine when you goofed is wrong and bad form.
Although I don't get the part you were saying about my other posts.... anyways...
Leaving the it out is a flaw in the manual, really akin to misinformation. All they mentioned in the adjusting windage section was that was needed was a drift punch (not to mention the lack of knowledge of knowing what exactly a drift punch was at that time). They gave the entire instructions for adjusting windage without mentioning nil about it. Not 1/16", and not allen. How am I as a gun newbie supposed to know a 1/16" allen was needed by reading the entire instruction. Used the drift punch in the screw, and suddenly, wham, screw busted. A more clear manual should be in order.
Especially since I told you it was a 1/16" before you started playing with it
And Yukon, I asked on the forums after it was busted, mainly because this forum url wasn't specified on the manual either and I didn't know about this place until some time later. Yes, I know that this is a private forum and not related to S&W officially. But there should still be more self-help covered in the manual somewhere, IMO. Because this accident wouldn't happen if it had been more specific.
The bottom line is that the manual should be the only pre-requisite for explaining using the M&P in all topics it covers, shooting/dissembly/cleaning/changing-windage/etc. Leaving essential information related to its topics out of the manual is their fault. After I'm done reading the manual, I expect to know everything on how to use/dissamble/clean/adjust-windage on this particular gun. This is my honest stance and I will hold it regardless of other opinions on self-defined "bad form" term or whatnot. I simply don't care. Next topic.
