Hi guys,
New here and as a new S&W owner was seeking thoughts about issues i have experienced with my new PC 460XVR 10.5".
I have used only Hornady 200gr FTX ammunition in the gun, just under 300 rounds to date.
The issues I have experienced are as follows.
1. The gun shoots EXTREMELY low - 30 clicks up on the rear sight to get on target at 50 metres. Tried mounting a scope and didnt have enough elevation adjustment to zero at 50 metres. Ended up having to remove fibre optic front sight and have replacement blade milled down to approx half the height of the fibre optic sight.
2. Cylinder unlocking and rotating backwards under recoil.
3. Brass getting stuck in cylinder after firing - lots of bulging and flattened primers.
4. Gun literally falling apart - rear sight completely detached once and keeps coming loose. Muzzle brake came loose, resulting in barrel shroud rattling / barrel no longer locked. Side plate screws keep coming loose.
Is this "normal"?
