S&W Quality?

[gnystrom]

And you are blaming S&W? Disappointing QC from a variety of mfgr's is nothing new. Sorry for your troubles, but bashing S&W on a S&W site won't get you much sympathy IMO.

Although I agree venting ones problems will not get you sympathy here but I am always hoping that someone from S&W actually reads these forums and comprehends what many of their passionate customers are saying. Large conglomerate company's tend to favor the shareholders over their actual customers and "In it for the long run" no longer exists.

It will be interesting to see how long Crimson Trace remains the fine company they created and maintained for years.

Here's a marketing point that S&W might consider; include two return shipping labels in the factory boxes of every new gun sold. They could advertise it as: If you're not that picky about guns, then our new firearms are for you. If you want it to work most the time, return it once. If you want it to work every time and have a bit of accuracy, return it the second time. They could call it their Customer Decides our level of Quality Control program.

..."NAH"...

You know the line I like (send it back they'll make it right) Tell that to the guy who scraped his pennies together for 3 or 4 months to purchase one.

Well then that guy better not buy anything.... ever. Even cars.

And if he scraped pennies for months and got one with an issue that doesn't mean the gun vanished into space, vaporized or was taken away. It's still there, still owned by him.

No way? You mean it wasn't all perfect like people seem to THINK?

anything man made comes with imperfections....top shelf products, like S&W, come with a warranty to correct them.....

enjoy your new revolver and welcome to the S&W forum.....

Kimber? Saw one at a gun show, meh.

They've made what, 10 revolvers, let me know when they're making 100's of thousands.

That won't be long

Kimber?? Worst Q problems in the industry!! Would not own a Kimber!

You should actually try one if its in the budget.Most complaints come from non owners.

Well good for them and the community. They'll employ some additional local folks as CS reps.

Smith Quility

I have bought many new and older smith, some have issued and most don't. Buy I have found Smith and Wesson more than happy to fix any issue. I have even called for parts of a gun I am working on myself ant smith has sent me parts at no charge, and paid the shipping. Just give it time and a chance.

I have owned a lot on new S&W's over the past several years and the only one that went back to the factory was to get my initials engraved on it to make sure I never sell it.

This is an all too often repeated topic. I solved my S&W quality problems..

I bought my K6s two weeks ago. I wanted at least six rounds in my EDC piece. I don't like carrying my D.S., because of lack of transfer bar. I have a few J frames, but think that an extra round or two in the cylinder might save a life someday. My question is, where did you get the good looking stocks, and the three dot sights?

No I don't. On several levels

Excellent, then they can pass Maverick, Anderson and Glock and climb into the top 10.

Mine is the version that comes with Crimson Trace Laser grips. The sights came with the gun.

One mountain at a time my friend.Remember after just four years of breaking into the 1911 arena ,they dominated that field.Of course being well known as the supplier of slides and other components to Wilson helped greatly.Even if you are not a fan of the brand,there is no denial that Kimber forced everybody to up their game without charging a months salary for a 1911.If they can help the fading out interest in revolvers by this current generation,than that would be a good thing.As your link proved the interest today is really towards black and plastic.

Care to source that for a fact check?
