I have heard that there are some issues with the stainless steel used in early S&W revolvers. My understanding is that this was limited mostly to the model 60s produced during the 1960s. But some people have indicated the problem also occurred in some of the K Frame revolvers.

The problems I have heard described include galling and a type of steel that swelled.

Does anyone have any information on this, and what guns were affected?
