Got my P32 back (had sent in with cracked slide). I found that the slide would not close unless I used a small screwdriver to reach in and push the slide lock down. I also noticed a bulge in the grip right at the assembly pin. I did a little quick search here and figured that the spring had come out of its position. I quickly pulled the frame up from out of the grip and confirmed as much. I reinstalled the pin correctly and everything worked fine so - off to the range. After exactly six shots - the same thing occurred.
So... do I need a new spring or slide lock?
At the risk of sounding like a complainer, also consider the following: I had asked for a chrome or parkerized exchange, whichever was available sooner, (credit card # provided) and it came back with a blued slide. Worse, the slide has considerable pitting on the left side and the blueing is rubbed off on a raised portion on the right side (looks like holster wear). The barrel does not look new either, but it is not my old one. Are they recyling parts now?
I don't know if I should send it back or try to fix it. Sending it back would probably keep me from entering that class in the Postal Match.
On the bright side, it appears to have a new grip, although the old one was fine. Any ideas?
