Ten days was a hell of a long time to wait, but I finally got to pick up my M&P 9.



I was doing the initial cleaning when I noticed that the recoil spring had a blue substance on the spring. I have never seen this before and it doesn't come off that easily either. Does anybody know what this is?

 

[halfcrazy]

i have the blue on both of mine i didnt try taking it off though

The blue identifies the spring for the assemblers at the plant. They get whole bunches of springs for various pistols, it's a visual cue as to what pistol the part goes into. Doesn't hurt anything, don't worry about it.

Congrats and blast away! I hope the thing shoots good for you!

Blue is a colour code for the spring and it wears off in places any way... does nothing.

Okay, that's interesting. Thanks for the information on that.

What did you have to wait for ?

I just go to my local Academy, purchase any firearm and walk away with it in about 30 minutes.

My concealed handgun license helps out a bit.

I ask myself the same question everyday. Living in the Republic of Kalifornia can be difficult at times. Wouldn't mind moving, but there are family and financial concerns that prevent that. Otherwise, I'm outta here!



My brother lives in Nevada and he has the same freedoms that you have. I am happy for the other states. At least, they recognize the second amendment as a right and not a privelege.

Congrats!

it's just paint... they all have them, in whatever color.



it will eventually come off... and watch out... you'll break down your gun and there will be flakes of blue crap all over the inside of your gun. lol.
