I agree the most issues should be detected in the store. And look at the actual gun they bring out of the back in the box. I operate the trigger enough w/o dry snapping the gun (which we know with S&W is no problem, but store owners might not feel that way. I've thought of taking snap caps with me.) If I buy a new gun online, any probs are taken care of at the factory. I hope they at least continue to have good repair and turn around in 30 years.
