Received the email with the shipping label info today. Going to box it up tonight and drop it off at Fed-Ex tomorrow.
I measured the trigger pull and it's right at 8 1/2 pounds. We'll see what it is when I get it back.
I just received mine back. No nicks, mars or scratches. I stripped it down and no shavings. There was a lot of oil on the inside of the slide, all over the barrel and the spring. There was some oil on the outside but not much. I didn't see any bare metal or anything out of sorts. I wiped it down then put it back together with no problems. Dry fired it a few times then grabbed my Wheeler gauge. It's right at 6 1/4 pounds. It's very crisp and the reset is very short. I like the way it feels. I'll still do the 100 dry fire shots and see if it changes but since I'm not feeling any "grittiness" or pulling I imagine it won't.
