Noticed a strange "binding" in my 642 last night. took the sideplate off this morning and the hammer stud had pulled away from the frame. Have already called s&w, they are sending a label, etc....
i'm hoping it can be fixed, as this 642 is one of the recent runs with no lock.
Anyone out there heard of this happening before, and any idea if it is as simple as reattaching a stud to the aluminum?
have had many airweights and other smiths and never seen this before.
thanks
Derek
