I lifted the pictures from the thread unclemoak referenced.
M&P forum pictures
my gun:
The cut on my gun appears to be a good bit larger than the cut on the M&P forum gun.
Yes,Dan Burwell has an excellent reputation.In fact,I intended to get him to improve the trigger on this gun.When it gets back from S&P,it will likely go to Duncansville.
As an old geezer who has been reloading since 1958, defects like that on fired primers from one of your guns was cause for alarm.
Maybe it's S&W's way of providing New York,Maryland,and other states with help in identifying which gun fired the empty brass that was used in a crime.
I'm too old and feeble to engage in criminal activity,so I hope S&W fixes it.
