Well, no. After the last batch of comments, I cleaned the gun again as thoroughly as I could and made sure the charge holes were completely clean and dry. And I've never used a bronze cleaning brush (don't know where that came from), just brass. When I took it back to the range, the cases stuck...

Mozzarella sticks and a southwest chicken bowl!

Thanks, but I'm going to let S&W handle it.

We didn't shoot a few thousand rounds in one range session. It was over many months in a few different guns with regular cleanings in between.

The brass looked fine. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I don't carry this gun, and I'm fine with letting things take their proper course.

After the cylinders are clean and dry, I run a patch with CLP through each chamber, followed by a dry patch. The point is so that the chambers aren't quite bone dry. This is the routine my wife has been following with her Rugers for years. I only use the Hornady and Maxi Mags, which are two of...

Thanks for the responses. These are the first S&W revolvers we've ever owned, and we were unaware of this issue. I'm not a revolver guy at all, and until now my wife has owned strictly Rugers with the exception of one Charter Arms a few years back. She has had 3 LCR and LCRx .22 magnums that...

This gun was purchased new in February, but thanks to a broken ankle immediately thereafter, it wasn't fired until April. I keep meticulous logs, and it had 277 trouble free rounds through it, getting cleaned after every range trip. Ammo is exclusively CCI Maxi Mags and Hornady Critical Defense...

We only shoot .22WMR in revolvers. And we both had the same issues. It ran fine, never had a light strike or any other problem shooting the ammo, but as I said, it was dirty, and ejection would get progressively more difficult. We went through a few thousand rounds between us. The guns were...

My wife and I shot a lot of Armscor .22WMR about 5 or 6 years ago because it was cheap, relatively speaking, and we bought a pile of it. It worked fine, but it was dirty, and after a few cylinders the cases would start sticking during ejection. A few more cylinders and we'd have to whack the...

The only J-frame I own is a 351PD, and when I do carry it, it's with Hornady Critical Defense.

I'm a fan of the caliber as well, but a full-size pistol has no appeal for me. I'd love to see the Model 317 Kit Gun or a pistol closer in size to a Shield Plus in .22WMR.

Unfortunately, I don't own a dremel, and I don't know anyone who does, and I'm not going to buy one just so I can fix their problem.

Back in April, my wife wanted to get full length grips for her new 351PD, so naturally we went to S&W's licensed grip maker, Altamont. Took a while, but they came in after about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, when I tried to install them, I found that there was a ridge on the right hand grip that...

Moving from the pad to the first joint fixed that for me.
