Thanks all for the advice.

I got my gun back from S&W. It was actually kind of comical. There was a brand new screw in it and it was barely hand tight. I guess with all the trouble I had, they decided to let me tighten it down myself. I don't know if it's actually a different screw, but it does seem like the wrench...

I know this seems to be geared toward older guns, but I've never shot a Smith I like as much as my SD9VE. That is after some trigger work. It is 100% reliable, no matter the ammo. It is more than accurate enough for it's intended purpose. It's comfortable, aims naturally and is easy to...

With the takedown screw problem finally solved, I took my new Victory to the range for a shakedown. I should note I gave it a thorough cleaning and lubing before doing so. It functioned flawlessly until it started getting close the 100 round mark. It then seemed to be having trouble...

Sorry, but you can't simply explain this away as poor tools. If you are going to sell a gun that requires a tool to take down, and you supply a tool SPECIFICALLY for doing that, then that tool should be able to do the job. If it had worked in my case I wouldn't even be turning to other tools...

Yes, I know which way to turn a screw. I put 200 rounds through the gun. I soaked it overnight in WD-40. I heated it as hot as I'm comfortable doing. I've broken 2 allen wrenches. And yes, I have a T handle wrench. I've had to regrind the tip 3 times due to it rounding off. I've removed a...

I have the standard, non threaded barrel. I'm going to soak it in penetrating oil and shoot the heck out of it today. See if that loosens it up.

I just bought a new S&W Victory. One of the things that attracted me to is was the ease of disassembly. Just remove one screw, you're done. Yeah, if you can get the screw out. I've already stripped the hex wrench that came with it and another of my own trying to loosen it. I clamped vice...
