This thread has had it's share of " Colt bashing " , so now let me tell you of my tale of " woooo " concerning my first N-frame 357 , a model 28 . It too got out of time after many many rounds . I had shot too many fast double action shots . It started spitting lead . So gentlemen , even a Smith & Wesson and yes , the mighty N-frame can go out of time . Regards Paul
