Hi all,
I picked up a R8 M&P the other day. So far I like the gun very much, however I have a few questions about it. As with all guns there are those with horror stories of the gun on the net and was wanting a little feedback from people who used them in the community.
1. frame damage due to it being scandium + alloy(frames cracking, horrible wear around cylinder.

2. Barrel spanner nut coming loose( after a quick trip to S&W the issue is fixed and no longer is a problem is the most common response I've seen. and does anyone know the size of the spanner wrench so I can have one on hand.

The other question I had is if the alloy frame is such a huge issue with this gun, can a SS or steel frame be purchased if there is a problem to be fixed.

Thanks to all who have input!

I wouldn't worry about anything. Just shoot it. If it breaks, Smith & Wesson will take care of it.

Over 900 rounds through mine...  Half have been .357, half .38.  No problems.  If you are worried I'll give $200 for yours
