After posting a question about a rumor of bad take-down levers on Sigs 239 and getting reassuring NO WAY!-s from fellow TFLers, I went and picked the gun.
Horror...Does SIG/Sauer company care for its credibility? If it does, it shouldn't have ever moved the production of its otherwise fine pistols to NH. And the reason is the following.
Upon dissassembling the pistol to clean it, I immediatelly found that the breach "face" was not smooth as it's supposed to be but covered with pits and grooves. They're NOT a result of a mechanical damage of any kind -- one can easily tell this area hasn't been touched by any machining tool whatsoever and represents the original surface of the steel block this slide was machined from!
Guys, it looks quite serious. My question is has anybody had this? Did you do anything to it? If you left it as it was and shot the pistol, did it shoot in a misbehaving manner (malfunctions, misfeeds, etc.)?
I'd truly appreciate any input on this frustrating issue -- I hope to get enough information from you to decide whether to send the slide back to Sigarms or just ignore it altogether.
