Southpaw187, This might be minor to your problem that you are having but I got a Brand New Model 60. Inspected at the shop it was sent to and noticed the barrel off centered to the left, but I have read some barrels are canted because of screwing in and being torqued to spec. But my sights were off to the left too. But with all the revolvers which most of them are SW revolvers, this was the first in many I saw that was canted and the sight off. So I called SW twice the rep wanted me to shoot it to see if it's shooting center, and I just remember reading your post about getting pelted by shrapnel, so I called SW back and the same guy I talked to Friday emailed me a shipping label, so I sent my revolver back yesterday, with a note of what I have found wrong. Now, knowing my luck they'll send it back saying all things are good, then I'll accept that them sale it. Maybe you will have better luck!
