Perhaps someone at S&W could explain how this system is an improvement. This pistol is a badge-engineered 22A/22S. As soon as I saw the introductory video touting the simple, single screw disassembly, it killed it for me.

Now, we have seen posts of these guns "disassembling themselves" when the screw vibrates loose, followed by posts about users being completely unable to unscrew the disassembly screw.

Sorry, but some designer at S&W should be called on the carpet over this fiasco.

Send it back, get it fixed, sell it, and but a Ruger Mark III.
Just got my Ruger Mark III Competition and must say it is the first firearm I have ever owned that you were required a hammer to field strip and put back to gather. I cringed beating on the brand new gun but did it just like Ruger's video showed and it works.

I no longer am having screw problem but they should have used a system like Beretta used on the U22 I have no problems with it. If it had the Victory's trigger it would be a darn good gun.
