I now have about 3500 rounds through my R8, just about all of them cheap Blazer 158 grain LRN and 148 grain WC's. I still enjoy the revolver and it produces fantastic accuracy.

I did send the R8 back to the factory, my main complaint was that the barrel nut came loose. While it was going back I also complained about the extractor rod coming loose and the trigger pull having just a touch of gritty feeling to it near the release in DA (I only shoot DA, well 99.9% of the time).

The factory fixed the barrel nut, replaced the hand and the extractor rod. I can say the action is significantly smoother and now it is just as accurate as before.

I have had a few problems with this revolver, but it is a machine and they wear and have defects. The positive strengths of my R8 outweigh the negatives in my opinion.
