Well.................... that's over.

FedEx brought the Model 41 back today after the second trip to SW repair shop. I immediately jumped in the truck and headed to Bud's Guns and Range.

Loaded up three mags with CCI Standard Velocity and shot them. Loaded up three mags with CCI Mini Mag and shot them. Loaded up three mags with Remington Thunderbolt and shot them. That process took almost 30 minutes. Because........ the SAME issues plus a new one. The new one being that the next mags would not go in if the slide was held open on the last round(slide did not lock open all of the time). It would stick out of the mag well 3/8" and would not go any further.

Struggled through another nine magazines and finally gave up.

Back on the phone with SW and got their standard response. "We will email you a return authorization." No offer of a replacement or even mention of it. Told them to hold off on that and I would call them back if I needed it.

Went back to the FFL dealer(smga.com) where I purchased it and the first one I had. The manager was more understanding than SW. He gave me my money back.

No more SW's for me, unless it old.
