I Shot it about an hr ago at the range, 150 rounds... accuracy was good , couldn't complain.. had one jam out of 150 but I think it was the ammo I used at that time.. it was Serbian ammo pretty cheap, the Winchester ammo was great, not a single jam...

I'm gonna call S&W anyways just to ask if they would swap the barrel ... I showed it to the guys at the gun range they looked at it and said they all pretty much look like that now... I even checked their shield they got for sale... same story ... same looking barrel as mine...

Not that I really care since the gun and barrel take wear over time anyways but when you buy new you expect perfect condition... my next firearm def won't be S&W.
