I agree with the lower QC at S&W. Having said that, a few weeks ago I bought a new 442 from the local lgs. Fit/finish is perfect and the barrel isn't canted. Maybe I got lucky? No, I got to inspect the gun before I bought it. I don't mind paying a bit more from the lgs than from an on-line dealer because then there usually aren't unpleasant surprises.
