It's a bumer to me that I my new M&P is going to be high maintenance. I've already spoke to S&W and they are sending me a shipping label so they can "Inspect" the gun. I'll keep you all posted on what they say. When I get the gun back, I'm going to purchase a cochise defender in the hopes that it doesn't hold the moisture like the kydex does. And after carrying the kydex, I'm leaning back to the leather as It's more comfortable to me anyhow.
These pictures are of my gun after the third rusting. This third rusting is the most mild of the three. I was disillusioned the first two times and wiped the gun off thinking it couldn't be rust. Alas, I was wrong

PART TWO *******************************************************
So the UPS guy shows up at about 6pm tonight after waiting for 15 days for my .40c. I was excited to say the least. The paper stated that they replaced my slide and it passed 'the' test. Most unfortunate was the fact they either didn't even look at the slide they sent me or didn't care that it was poor craftsmanship. I got a bad slide. My next move will be to write Smith and email asking them to send me a new slide and upon arrival, I'll send them their paperweight back. I don't want to wait another 15 days for my gun to come back again. We'll see if they tell me to stick it or if they go ahead with it. Heck, I'll even offer to give the my credit card number so they can charge me should I not return the metal they sent me. Of course I will return it either way. Here's the pics.






So the UPS guy came again today, August 7th. The slide looks great. Again it took roughly 15 days for the turn around so I was out my pistol a month total.
