About sending that thing off for repair... just ups it, insure it for MORE than you paid for it,by quite a margin.
UPS will want you to state what is in the box, tell them a HANDGUN. This is important. Handguns can only be shipped next day air within the UPS system. It willcost you a great deal more to ship next daybut it is much, much safer.
If lost or stolen, all you have to do is call your local state police and make a report. ATF may call you for particulars, but probably not. No harm to your license.
