With all due respect then please can count mine as the first one. Brand new 629 that had never been screwed with or modified and it stuck on the 9th round. The first six looked fine then next three showed evidence of blowback. All were factory loaded ammo and not reloads.
I called S&W and they fixed mine under warranty and paid the shipping both ways. If the firing pin is toast, I would suspect the bushing is too and in that case I'm glad I sent mine to the factory.
