Mity, thank you for the P22 Bible, I didn't have one yet and can definately do any of the things in that manual. I bought this pistol used/brand new from a friend that got it and never shot it, so he sold it. This was right after they came out, and before I had ever heard anything bad about them wearing. It's not a big deal though, because I got the pistol for reall cheap. I have no problem slingshotting rounds in, I just wanted others to be aware of the wear, and for no one to get injured.

Jaybell, you had a heck of a time with your pistol man. I've never had anything close to all those problems with mine. I know that some of the newer pistols from S&W don't come with a lifetime warranty, kind of sad. Either way, I just wished they'd at least offer the possibility of purchasing a new slide. They originally told me that they would not, that the only way to get a new slide was if it was under warranty. I guess maybe they want to sell more of those pistols, but if that's how they handle stuff I just won't buy another. Anyway, in terms of customer service S&W has been really good to me. They sent me some screws for the compensator (free) that had been stripped by the previous owner, and also a recoil spring just the other day (free), when mine wore out. They not only did that free, but they usually had the parts to me in 2-3 business days, which was impressive.
