    Victory 22lr barrel alignment problem (front and rear sight are not in line)

    I had a similar problem with my Victory. When you look at the gun from the bottom, the barrel and frame are misaligned. With mine, it caused feed issues. S&W replaced the barrel. That corrected the problem. I don't think the quality is there with these guns.

    S&W SW22 Victory - Spare Parts where to get in Europe

    I'm assuming you can't purchase parts and import them yourself. If you can't order them, it's likely against the law for some one here to send them to you. Can't the dealer where you bought the gun order what you need? If they can import guns, they can import parts. Have your dealer check here...

    Victory Failure

    That would be great if the ejector was always the only problem. The simple "Google" answer is not always the right one. Mine had a defective barrel. The lug for the attaching bolt was crooked. S&W didn't find the problem. I did. After it came back the last time I was confident enough in the...

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    Went to the range this morning. 60 rounds of CCI and 60 rounds of Federal bulk. Only one fail to fire and that was the shell. Seems to be fixed this time. I may still trade it. Not a lot of confidence in this pistol after all the problems. Not a lot of faith in S&W either if you have to keep...

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    FedEx delivered my gun about an hour ago. I had told them that it looked like the upper and lower were not aligned when assembled. They said they replaced the barrel. Looks like the bolt was changed too. The bolt comes out of the upper kind of hard at the end. Like they squeezed the upper in a...

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    After I got the gun back from the first warranty "repair", it still would not cycle ammo as it should. I decided to keep shooting it and hope it would "break in". That never happened and the problem continued to get worse. Couldn't deal with it any longer and sent it back in to Smith & Wesson...

    S&W Victory Or Not

    Mine doesn't do that every time, but, often enough to make it a pain to shoot. The other day while cleaning, I noticed the barrel didn't look square on the frame. Took the barrel off and it looks like the lug that the mounting bolt goes in is slightly canted. I'll have to look at a friend's...

    M&P 2.0 shoots LOW

    As I said , I WAS shooting from a rest. The combat sight and image 3 explanation seem to be the most plausible. I tried that yesterday at the range. By aiming that way and slightly higher, I could knock the plates around on the combat tree and tip over the 8 inch ones at 20 yards. This gun is...

    M&P 2.0 shoots LOW

    I guess #3 is about the same height as what I was doing. Just doesn't seem right that you have to obscure a target to hit it. My other handguns have adjustable sights and I am accustomed to sight picture #1. I know most personal defense situations are closer than 20 yards. FBI claims the...

    M&P 2.0 shoots LOW

    My M&P 2.0 9mm shoots very low. This isn't a grip problem. If I shoot from a bench rest at 20 yards, it will be 10 to 12 inches low. If stack the sights instead of proper alignment and cover the bulls eye instead of a six o'clock hold, it's only a little low. Are all M&Ps like this? I guess I...

    S&W Victory Or Not

    The ejector was never the problem. Unless I use the CCI poly, it will sometimes pick up the shell [I]ahead[I] of the extractor so it fails to go all the way into battery and fails to fire.

    S&W Victory Or Not

    I bought one last summer. Had some issues, sent to S&W for repair. Got it back , no better. I've been tinkering a little. Works OK as long as I only get CCI polymer coated. When you get one that works right, they are accurate and fun.

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    I see wear marks in a lot of places on this gun. Everything that moves has some shiny spots. All of the parts have a pretty rough finish from the factory. Maybe when they all shine it will work.

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    Happens at any point while shooting a mag. Has to be something about the bolt machining. I read about one guy that sent his gun in 4 times before they finally replaced the bolt and that fixed it. Maybe after I put a few thousand CCI through it, it will break in and accept other ammo...

    S&W Victory .22 ammo picky

    One of the guys at my gun club bought one about the same time. His will fire any ammo. I had tried his before I bought mine and liked it. Now I'm sorry I didn't get a Ruger.
