Hi Barney - As we are not Bud's employees, but just members of the Buds community, we have no access to the company information necessary to answer concerning the issue(s) you addressed in your question. Suggest you contact Bud's Customer Service at 1-859-368-0371 (9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri) or use the "chat now" button located at the bottom right hand portion of your screen, (9am-9pm EST 7 days a week) and pose your question to them directly.

Barney, these are recent production pistols that should be clear but, I would still verify with Buds Customer Service at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon-Sat and 11am - 7pm Sun (7 days a week).

Hey Barney, BudsGS staffers don't populate these forums and that'd be more of a question for the customer service guys with the appropriate information on the serial numbers they have in stock. Try reaching out to buds by either clicking the "chat now" icon on the lower right of your browser or by calling (859) 368-0371. Best of luck.
