Thanks everybody for your comments. The gun is back to S&W for repair. I was passing Springfield MA during my business trip and dropped it off to S&W plant. I will keep you posted.
The special thanks to TDAN, I copied to my S&W repair claim your "a b/c gap of .009+ is entirely unacceptable on a revolver that chambers a 60,000 psi cartridge"; I really like that opinion!
