Maybe it’s “Police Department Concord, New Hampshire”.

If you read the thread, you'd realize that it is beside the point. The point is that a gun went out with a mistake like that in the first place, not whether or not it is easy to fix.

All true, but it's beside the point.

Yup, I hear you. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with a new S&W revolver or semi and I've probably bought 2 or 3 dozen over the last 4 decades. That's why I was so surprised, and it's such a big, glaring, negligent, almost laughable error. I've had problems with other brands new...

iPads are not that hard to fix, mine had a software problem and all it needed was to have the OS reloaded. The Apple store gave me a brand new, more expensive model than the one I bought because that is Apple's business model. That is what they always do when you buy it directly from their...

That has been my experience too, 4 or 5 times over the last 40 years or so. S&W received the 642 back today, so I'll probably hear something in the next week or two I imagine.

That's the plan. I decided on, ordered, and paid for a new gun, not a refurbished gun for a new gun price. So, regardless of whether it's their wallet or mine, my glove compartment will have a new gun in there. :D

Actually, in Florida they do. There's a lemon law on cars. This situation is a little different than that though. However, many companies will replace a defective item as opposed to repairing it, to maintain customer satisfaction. My iPad 3 was replaced instantly when it had a defect the...

They can put the same serial number on a new gun off the line if they retire the old frame.

The reason I want a new gun is that I will always have a nagging suspicion in the back of my mind that the QC team will have missed something else critical too. Maybe it was a rookie, or they were all hung over from the night before, who knows. I know, the odds are really small, and it's really...

I used to keep my KelTec P32 in my pocket whenever I rode. I replaced it with either my LCP or PM9 recently. The P32 was only reliable for 3 or 4 shots at best before jamming. Still, way better than nothing. I assumed, wrongly, that an LCP would be equally unreliable based on reports online...

Well, the dealer referred me to S&W. They made the call to them this morning, explained the situation, and a sales rep from S&W called me. So, the gun is on its way to Springfield along with a fired Federal case that won't fit in one of the chambers and a persistent letter from me insisting on...

My thoughts exactly. This is the second gun I've bought from them in the last month, and in both cases the gun had an issue. Luckily I caught the first one before transferring ownership. It was cosmetic so it was easy to spot. They're a big dealer and they run a lot of really good sales, so...

Keep an eye out on Armslist too. I think eBay has a 10 round limit, not that everyone abides by it. I have a number of magazines (all pre-ban with original receipts for most) for sale on armslist, including 5900 series mags. They are all 15 round, factory and aftermarket, and 2 30 rounders...
