Yes, this is what is making me so depressed. Regardless of the cause of failure, I don't think this gun is going to be able to be repaired. The comp is permanantly fixed on the barsto barrel, I don't even know how Smith and Wesson would be able to get it apart. I'm sure Smith and Wesson will say its the ammo, and Federal is going to say we put the warning on the box, and now I have a really expensive 1 of 240 paperweight that I got to shoot 4 and a half times.

Thanks again everyone for the help so far, I guess I need to get my ducks in a row for Tuesday.
