WCCPHD, that’s an interesting story. I can’t say the “denial” surprises me. As you probably well know, what goes on in the repair department of a big company is not always “documented” - and certainly not always released to the public. The good part is, I guess, that they fixed your problem - or did they? You didn’t say.

I don’t shoot 100 rounds at a time through my 342, or any other J-frame snubnose I’ve ever owned. I take it you’ve done this with other types of J-frames and not had that problem? Just curious. Not doubting you or implying you did anything wrong.
