My dad bought a post WW II .38 special M&P in the late '60s. The salesman sold him a box of Super Vels to go with it, as those rounds were "the best for self defense".

My dad shot six rounds, I shot six rounds, my mom shot one round and then the M&P quit on her. The forcing cone had split.

The dealer sent the gun back to S&W, who put on a new barrel. The Super Vels were traded for a box of 158 grain RNL.
