This has been sold. Thank you.

Did you read what I said? I said: I will put a couple hundred rounds through it the way it is to verify the failure to carry up problem is solved. After that, I think I'll sell it. I didn't change anything. I just took the parts out, inspected them, and put them back in. It's completely dry...

I disassembled the gun today. Looks like they replaced most everything but the frame and the grips. It has the following new parts: mim trigger mim hammer cylinder stop cylinder ratchet / extractor hand barrel front sight The trigger feels crunchy again, and all engagement surfaces are rough...

I've emailed them about the gouges. I don't want to sit on hold for 45 minutes to tell them about it.

I just got it back today. I decided it would not be a good idea to test it in my house. .44 magnums are rather loud, and the bullets would likely leave the room. I will test it when I have an opportunity to do so. Are the gouges through the finish down to bare metal also something we can...

Well, I got Taurus-level QA and Taurus-level CS, might as well have saved the money and bought the Taurus Raging Bull. I sure won't ever buy another new S&W product after this.

I hadn't received any email to know to expect it, but FedEx dropped off the gun this afternoon. The paperwork is puzzling, and I am not sure exactly what they did. Under "Requested Service" it just shows the model and serial number of the gun, plus "CSRVLR CS Repairs - Revolvers". That's...

They've had it for over two weeks, now they say it will be finished in another 7-10 working days. Pretty slow for a warranty repair on a $1600 revolver.

Hi Thank you so much for your valuable insights, jj. I would never have thought of any of that without your assistance. BTW, my mother is dead.

Coming up on 2 weeks now without a peep out of S&W, hope they get it back to me soon. I have other guns, but naturally this is my favorite one.

OK thanks. Yes, I did get the return label via email, so I guess I know what to expect.

My gun has been back there for over a week now, and I haven't heard anything from them. Do they normally communicate on these jobs or do they just fix it and send it back? I realize a week isn't very long, but I have never sent a gun to them before so I don't know what to expect.

The Stealth Hunter arrived at the Mother Ship yesterday. I will definitely report back when they have responded.

Me too. My PC Stealth Hunter lists for almost $1700. My $650 Ruger Bisley Hunter has way better workmanship and attention to detail every place but the interior of the barrel, where the Smith is clearly better.

We have had a 10 day waiting period in California for many years. The powers that be would gladly make it an infinite waiting period if they could. And yes, it applies to handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and it doesn't matter how many you already have.
