I agree with the post above, however new guns you buy will last as well IMO, there's always the possibility of some issues, always have been with any manufacturer. Smith has great customer service in honest, realistic issues:)

I'm excited about the .327 LCR, but it's just so damn plastic. Hopefully Smith does take notice, but with willing buyers such as myself and others refusing to buy the Ruger how would they rate interest?

I think the possibly incorrect replacement sear spring that I put in might have caused the sear to ultimately break, by catching or hanging slightly till the tip gave. That piece was broken off inside the gun before I pulled the trigger (twice), when I did I think I may have caused the internals...

No, I've never dry fired it with the side plate off. I know that puts unnecessary stress on the studs. I either have a defective gun, or more likely the damage was caused by me. If the damage was caused by me it was a chain reaction to a specific issue. All these parts didn't just break at one...

Well, here's the butchers bill. * Broken hammer stud * Broken trigger stud * Broken trigger lever * Broken sear All at once? Doesn't matter, I've never had any of these problems with any Smith. All of these parts were broken before I opened it up. I mentioned my removal of the rebound spring...

Just got off the phone with S&W, they're sending me a new sear.

Yeah, it's a bummer alright. I'm not gonna ask S&W to replace it. I didn't mention this before but the reason I opened it back up was because the sear broke. I've had the gun apart several times, so I can't blame S&W for the hammer stud. The sear breaking is not my fault though, maybe I'll ask...

Ok, thank you for helping me make my point:)

J frames come in may forms, and I made no reference to being "cycled" with the side plate off. A gun can survive many " tear downs", reliable guns are made to be torn down over an over again by a many people.

Of course it does, not my point bud.

I think it was the incorrect removal of the rebound slide/spring. I didn't buy the correct tool to remove it. I've bought many other correct tools though and had no problem. I knew I was pushing the limits of the stud, it's just in my nature to see what really happens.

The titanium cylinder has withstood 60 more rounds with no issues that I can see so far though. Live and learn!

Hello all, my hammer stud just broke. I say this because I've said I'd give updates and I want us all to learn.. The fault isn't with S&W but me IMO. I said I'd give ya'll updates about my experiments, didn't see this coming though! My point is though that it doesn't reflect well on me, be very...

Yes, this is correct, I should have thought of that. Check there first and be sure to feel the pads. Also, take a similar metal with you and try it, as long as you don't have to open anything or alter the packaging.
