Default 929 is NOT 9x19, but 9x21!

About the S&W 929.

Fact 1:
People are reporting trouble with accuracy when using light to medium weight bullets up to 124 gn. Most people get reasonable to good accuracy with heavy bullets 140-160 gn.

Fact 2:
People report residue build ups in the chamber, right before the throats. Similar to those found when shooting .38 Special in a .357 Magnum cylinder.

Fact 3:
9x21 brass fits like a glove in the 929 revolver, that is sold and heavily marketed as a 9x19 revolver.




So, we have a cylinder cut for 9x21, that is sold as 9x19 and when people use 9x19 they have accuracy troubles, since light bullets will clear the case before they reach the throat.

I'm thinking liability issues on S&W's part. Will they even acknowledge this, or will they just blame Taurus (who manufacture all S&W titanium cylinders)?
