I've searched, but found no threads on this subject, but is there a way to determine the date of manufacture?
My wife just bought me a new .45 for our anniversary, but after reading all the ftf and breakage issues, I'm thinking I'll return it if it's an early production model. I love my M&P 40 and have had zero issues with it, but I'm a little concerned with the .45.
Thanks.
*** UPDATE: Ok, forgot about the test fire envelope and the casing in it says it was fired 5-07-07, so the pistol was probably manufactured around that time.
My serial number is MPR9xxx. Is anyone having any troubles with their .45s in the MPR8xxx and greater serial numbers? Also, the external finish on mine looks great . I haven't taken it apart, or even remove the orange safety plug, so I can't say what the internals look like.
