Gun is headed back to S&W. Will let everyone know what comes of it. Like you, the dual turn line has me stumped. I see no where it could be rubbing.

Yes sir, always goes bang. When I look from the side, and dry fire, there is no wobble/movement, and no high spot where I see that the cylinder is rubbing. Same goes for when I open the cylinder, no wobble anywhere.

Hi all, I purchased a new S&W 360 .357, and noticed when I shoot Hornady 357 JHP 125gr XTP ammo I see dual firing pin strikes. In this case 3 out of 25 rounds. What may be causing this? I don’t notice this when shooting 38, or Remington UMC 357. I also notice a dual drag mark on my cylinder...

Thanks fellas, may try some Oxpho Blue Cream on it. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I received my Model 27 Classic back from S&W after some extractor rod work and noticed bluing missing on the barrel yoke in front of the chamber. The gun wasn't missing the bluing before I sent it off to S&W. Any idea how this happened? Is it it worth mentioning to S&W? I bought this gun to...

I ordered new grips for my model 27 from Altamont, I really like them. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Old thread. The gun has already been back to S&W for a few other things, S&W treated me right and got it back to me within 15 weeks. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Very nice. Call S&W and get some VCI paper, seeing that on bare foams hurts. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

What do y'all use to transport your Revolvers to and from the range, and on long car rides? It boggles my mind how shoddy the Blue S&W case is. I really wish S&W would ship with a molded rubberized case like Dan Wesson uses, and Remington uses for their 1911's. They are super nice, I'd...

I'm very particular, but that wouldn't bother me. It's up to you. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Thanks fellas. Now I'm debating whether I want to send it in to S&W to repair this. It's a luck of a draw, you may get great service, or the gun may come back with a ding or two elsewhere. The gun functions perfectly. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Be glad it's the stocks and not the frame of the gun. Stocks are easily swappable. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Well considering this is my first revolver, I bought it to commemorate my first son, not to mention it's not cheap... I thought I would bring it up. Yes, it does not wipe off. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I ordered new from Bud's and was the first to open the box when it arrived at my FFL. It was brand new, after unboxed you could see 3 soot/blast rings on the front of the cylinder indicating 3 rounds fired during test fire at the S&W factory. I've put 150 rounds through it, and worked the...

Will do, the front sight pin is perfect, no scratches (it's a roll pin, not a solid pin), I guess it just looks that way from the picture. The locking bolt pin does look like it was hammered in rather crudely. I just hate to send it off to the factory, I hope they do a good job and don't mar...
