50/50 here also.
#1 A 21-4 had canted barrel among numerous other defects. Against my better judgment, accepted this one. Canted barrel, loose front sight, beveled barrel extension. No more were available. Two trips to S&W and it still had problems. Dumped that dog like a bad habit.
#2 A 442 that's perfect in every respect.
