Could you please advise what the wear issues were? How many times the gun(s) have had to be sent to S&W? It would seem that multiple trips back to S&W in 8,000 rounds for wear issues indicates the caliber and load is simply too stout for the platform.
I do not expect any wear issues from my Scandium N framed TRR8 and M&P R8 for the first 20,000 rounds each as the hottest .357 Magnum I'm sending down range is 158 grains at 1,240 FPS. It would be disappointing to be wrong on that.
