The freaking thing basically exploded in my hand today. The take down pin blew out the side and split my thumb open. The entire upper portion of the gun was on the ground, as I held only the frame in my hand. At first I thought I had really hurt myself, but it was just a small flesh wound despite scarring the **** out of me.
Never again!. I'm done with this gun. I do like S&W, but this gun is garbage.

Glad you're okay, could've been worse. Was it a kaboom, or just the TD pin breaking allowing the slide to come off? Some people have reported having problems inserting the TD pin. They don't get it seated properly or hooked on the spring all the way which could cause it to bind and break. Pictures?
