I asked for a fefund everytime I sent it back! However, I am kinda glad that I did not get a refund as I really like the Victory. Hopefully this repair works for a long time since the firearm is great looking and is as accurate as our Ruger Hunter which is extremely accurate! The fluted barrel...

Just came back from the range!! I fired over 250 rounds of every kind of ammo I had and the Victory ate it all up without any issues. PLUS, the firearm is deadly accurate. I took my rest to check the sights but they were dead on! What a great feeling to fire away without any issues. The ammo...

Smith shipped the Victory at 9:55am yesterday morning and I signed for it at 1:05 this afternoon! Fabulous service! Heading to the range in the morning!

To add to the great customer service was: A- the rep admitted that Smith may be the ones that tried to correct the ejector issue but their fault that it did not work. B-the Victory is being sent via Fedex overnight mail and I will have it back tomorrow! Can't get better than that!

I would like to thank everyone for their posts as this was a real learning experience and I also got a great deal of new information! I do not have any issues with any of the posts as they are all seperate opinions and I respect all of them. I went into the Victory purchase full steam ahead and...

UPDATE-UPDATE!! Just got off the phone with Smith and was told that they found the ejector out of alignment so they replaced the top half of the firearm. They then fired 5 mags through without an issue. The firearm will be mailed back today!

No I do not expect Smith to pay for the upgrades as I will sell them at our gun club. I will accept any reasonable offer from Smith as I really want to end this nightmare. I also don't expect Smith to repay me for all the NUMEROUS rounds that went in the trash. I also do not expect Smith to pay...

Every time I call I ask for ANY reimbursement or replacement of the firearm but are told that the firearm has to go throurgh THEIR evaluation before any action is taken! We are really at the end of the road and just want to end this nightmare but do not want to pass this unreliable firearm on to...

I want to address the $780 cost. When I first ordered the Victory with the fluted barrel I wanted to make this a super firearm as it was a birthday gift for my wife. I purchased a Volquartsen fluted barrel with a forward blow compensator, a Tandemkross aluminum picatinny rail along with a...

Was your fix slightly bending the ejector?

Ok, the firearm has been at Smith's for two weeks and when I called, after they signed for it, I was told that it will be on High Alert since this is the third time it was sent back for EXACTLY the same problems! I called today and was told that firearms are first in and first out and that it is...

The firearm was received and signed for last week. I called today and was told it will go to repair and figure 4 to 6 weeks to complete. I stated that this is not acceptable and need to speak to the person in charge to either refund our $780 or replace the firearm. I was put on hold and then...

EVERYTHING that the Victory did not shoot I put in my wife's Ruger Mark 4 Hunter and it fired without an issue. When the Victory began having all these issues I bought the Ruger for my wife as the Victory is her firearm. She gave me the Victory and there is no way she would EVER part with the...

I got the fedex email today that the firearm was received and signed for, will keep everyone posted! Rich

This is my wife's gun and since it is always in the mail I bought her a Ruger Mark 4 Hunter and she loves it as it never jams no matter what ammo we use. She gave the Victory to me! I collect all the ammo that the Victory can not fire and put it in the Ruger mag and all of it fires with no...
