80's K22 that never fired all of its cartridges in one take, about 3 or 4 of them never fired, sent back to smith and wesson in MA twice for this problem and once to a "master" gunsmith and neither of them could fix the ****ing thing.

dumped at kittery trading post with full disclosure a number of years ago and replaced with a 50's beat to hell k22 thats always worked with all shots and under all conditions.

for my dad it would be that 686 that put him off of smith and wesson for damn near 30 years that locked up on the first 6 shots of fresh factory ammo at a gun range in 82 - 83' when the gun first came out, kind of funny that it turned out to be that model too, I've always hated the 686 since I first saw it and didnt know why.

little wonder now and thank god he didnt find that out the hardway either!


and Joni_Lynn what was wrong with the 27? did it just not fit you?
