S&W confirmed to me the red dot on the new screw is locktite. By the way, I asked about the use of o rings and they said they do not recommend it, but didn't give any explanation as to why. I can't possibly see any way an o ring would have any negative affect.

Thanks much!

The SW22 Victory is my first semi automatic pistol as I've always had revolvers. When manually pulling back the bolt it is very smooth until the ejector gets at the rear of the ejection port when it then appears to have resistance and seems to drag a little. I have had no issues with it...

I just received a new takedown screw from SW. It has a dot of red on the screw threads.....I figured locktite would be put on just before putting the screw back in....any ideas what it might be?

I got mine at Christmas. The takedown screw was very tight, but it did break loose. After reading all the issues with the screw, I asked S&W for another screw which they sent out immediately. The new screw appears to have a dot of red loctite on it?? I'm not sure if I want to put this new screw...

I just received the zipper case for the SW22 Victory from Smith & Wesson. The gun doesn't fit.....anyone else had this experience?

I took my new SW22 Victory out for its first shots trying to beat a bout of rain. I Checked the barrel and chamber before loading but in the haste forgot to put a few drops of oil on the slide/bolt. Only got to shoot 40 rounds before the rain set in. It performed flawlessly. I'm hoping there...

I wonder if anyone who has switched out to a Volquartsen barrel have experienced the screw loosening?

SW22 I had narrowed my choices down to the Victory and Mark IV. In fact, I was leaning more toward the MarkIV, but when I picked them up, the SW22 felt so much better in my hand.....the balance is great. The first time out it was flawless in operation and seemed very accurate. I have no...
