What washers?

I'm confused.

I can't be the only one. Can I?

Nope, cause I dont' have a clue either. I'm guessing maybe it could have something to do with the slide peening issue???

He needs to forget the washers and have the slide replaced under warranty.

princemorr2003, I would suggest you consider the posts in this thread and NOT part with any washers ...

that slide NEEDS to be replaced. washers will do no good.

I had my slide replaced and then added a washer to the new slide for insurance.

that is the ticket. me too.

but to use the buffer to try to fix an existing problem is not a good idea. get it fixed first. then add the insurance policy.

Still confused.

What is the washer for?

Hi,

It prevents the recoil guide spring rod from peening the hole on the front of the side which will eventually allow the recoil springs to poke through. This is not an issue on any of the P3AT's that I have shot or worked on.

Best Regards

Got it.

Thanks for the clarification!

Is there a list anywhere of the serial# range that has the peening problem, or is this information unknown?

Thanks much for the list, looks like I should be ok. Was afraid I might have just wasted time and money on plating for a slide that's going to go back to KT.
