me too! Because I might not ever send it back to S&W!!! :D

1st range trip after getting it back, suddenly I remember how much I like this gun…. :D 5 rds group of UW 350gr EP @ 25yds

seems that way, it’s literally been one headache after another. Sad part is really like the gun & the round otherwise I’d jumped off this train a long time ago. I keep thinking I’d had better luck with one the standard 500s with the interchangeable MB. I know two people that have those and they...

It took just over 10 weeks but my 500 mag is back in service. Although S&W threw me one last curve ball. The new rear sight was torqued clockwise so I had to put it in a vice and straighten it. So here’s the recap, Got my 500 NIB and the cylinder was loose, the cylinder was dinged, the inside...

I have a new King Cobra and it’s a bit nicer than my new PC 500 mag. The cylinder locks up tighter, the fit & finish is better, the DBL action is smoother on the colt.(SA is excellent on both) and the Colt was perfect out of the box whereas the S&W require a trip back to S&W to fix about 5...

Hiking / carry when I’m not in bear country mostly. I’ve been carrying my HK45 but I want something with a little more penetration and not made of polymer. Practically all my pistols are polymer. I looked at a 4.25” bbl colt king cobra, it was pretty much flawless inside and out, I’m leaning...

Update, they shipped out a new rear sight today. I clean out the rest of the red corrosion myself so Hopefully I can enjoy my 500 now and have it for hiking next year. I’d planned on getting a 686 but after this headache I’m going a different route. Any suggestions?

I thought about it but I’m not waiting another 8 weeks and taking a chance they will mess something else up

I appreciate the offer, I might have to look for a plan B at some point. I found a LPA sight but it feels wrong spending $100 on something S&W broke….

More good news from S&W there is no ETA on the replacement rear sight they broke. They said I can do another 6-8 week return to get it fixed or wait until they get more back in stock with no ETA……. :mad: This is just getting ridiculous at this point.

My 19x is quite accurate. Getting used to holding the 2x4 grip was a little challenging but I’ve been spoiled by my HKs.

Called S&W, they are sending me a new rear sight, they said this “I reviewed your photos and the area on the frame that you are referring to be rust, is not. It is in fact a residue from a chemical process that we use to passivate and rinse our frames in. This area is not considered to be a...

Found one more issue, this was straight when I first got it….
