Slide success.

Perfectly Eric. As if it was built for it🤘🏻

It's none of my business, but why did the pistol need a new slide?

There was a small batch of early slides where some of them developed a crack near the rear. We were never sure if it was a bad "mill run" or something else. The stat sheets for the 17-4 T6 SS showed good material. There were a very small number of those slides, but anything that came back for warranty in the early days always got a new slide and barrel to be safe. Not all of the early slides had issues, it just depended on the "luck of the draw", as with anything mechanical. That situation was corrected immediately and there was never an issue with them again.

HA, HA. So true. Many years ago I ran a machine shop and learned to NEVER try to guess what causes metal failure. I remember once we rebuilt a 1912 Rolls Royce 6 cal motor. The head was over 5' tall.  EVERY part had to come from England. When we tested it, we always ran it up before giving it back to the customer, one of the valves just broke the stem in half. No rhyme or reason. 

As forest Gump said "it happens."
