Before everyone bemoans the lack of quality in the new S&W revolvers, I bought a brand new Model 629 in 1982. The first time I fired it, I zeroed it with Remington 240 grain JHP .44 Magnum. As I continued shooting the rounds started striking across the target. I stopped shooting and looked down at my new revolver only to see that the barrel had turned in the frame enough that the grooves on the barrel rib were no longer aligned with those on the rear sight by about an eighth of an inch. Back it went. When it returned, it was fixed just fine.

This too shall pass.
