David, we're just customers as yourself not buds employees but after the firearm is transferred you would have to go through the manufacturer. You can contact Smith and Wesson at 1-800-331-0852
Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:45PM, or you can email them at ( qa@smith-wesson.com ). Sorry you're having issues but hope this helps.

This is pretty much unheard of and sounds incredibly dangerous. I recommend contacting S&W customer service HERE ( smith-wesson.com/customer-service/contact-us ) I hope this helps!
