I had one and it had some issues with putting a ding in the case sides and putting a dimple on the shell casing bottom, pretty hard hits on the side and significant 'smile' dent on the bottom. Sent it back to S&W and it was corrected.
Super great value and awesome looker! It was nice to get a gun with front grip checkering at the price and the slide scale cuts are a nice touch as is the grip cuts!
Unfortunately I struggle with grip safeties so I sold it but it got a new 'safe queen' home from a friend so I was good with that
I'd buy another.....……….and maybe I will!
My trigger was nice but I live close to Andy Horvath so I had him tweak it.
Sweet!
