My gun was returned Friday, 5/10/24 and went to the range today. While it is markedly improved, it still failed to feed or eject around 30% of the time with one magazine and around 70% with the other. At the cost of 22 mag ammo, this turned into a pricey experiment for a gun that shoots reasonably accurate but with terrible reliability.
The first two pictures show failure to feed. You will note the barrel (which S&W says they replaced) is pulled back in both
photos:
This last photo shows one of the FTE's. Note the barrel is forward:
This gun has been the biggest disappointment of my many S&W purchases and while I hope they can make it right, my optimism is waning.
