A more important question to me is listed on pg. 113, paragraph c. when it reports that they fired "5 rounds by mistake"! WTH does that mean?? Glad I wasn't on the range that day!

Hi, Bob-
You may be right. I thought the whole report referred to the S&W. And a Colt would be unlikely to foul the crane on the barrel. I think the problem was with the S&W's barrel lug and forward lock. A pinned barrel can come loose, if not well fitted. And this was a new model.
Minus the previous page, it's hard to be sure where the S&W coverage began.
