p22 problem and great return

I have had a p22 for years. Every time i go to the range I shoot at least ten-12 mags out of it. I cant even give you an estimate of a round count out of it. Well the slide started to wear and would not close after the last round. I emailed smith and wesson and they said send it back. So I did (thanks steve for the help). It took less than two weeks to be returned with a new slide. I have heard horror stories about guys who send their guns into various companies and dont have them back for months. Smith and wesson just got my bussiness form here on out.
