Earlier TSW pistols were supposedly tighter fitted and matched upper/lower, and many owners claim they notice a difference. I believe it is less so on later TSW pistols.

The one part on most of the .45cal pistols that does give trouble -- nearly to the point where it's an epidemic is the trigger play spring. It's the riveted, funny little copper looking springy tab mounted to the trigger. These bend and break and it allows the trigger to "click" in a most annoying fashion.

Word is that it's so prevalent that some LE armorer began yanking them off as a matter of routine and I've read of at least one LE org that simply ordered S&W to ship their pistols without this blasted cheap spring.

The spring isn't prone to failure in all the other pistols.
