At my range, over the past 9 (?) months or so, three of my friends each bought S&W Victory .22's. All three had the same problems. All three had to go back to the mothership and IIRC one went back twice... I don't know about the other two, but they are both shooting Buckmarks and Rugers. I almost bought one, but hesitated just long enough. I have no idea with S&W did to repair their guns. I'm guessing S&W has it ironed-out by now... send her back.
