How so? Do tell. I had to change the barrel on mine to get it to group.

I have a performance center V1.0 with a Apex short reset trigger. While the trigger break isn't that much different than what the PC sear provides the reset is much shorter ~ 1/8" or less. The reset is both tactile and audible but neither is strong or loud. I changed it cause I dislike the whole...

Have you tried to shoot it one handed, both weak and strong to see if might be your grip? Has anyone else shot it with the same issue? I'd hesitate to modify the gun before letting Smith look at it. Smith CS makes it pretty painless to return for service.

I own four .22 handguns. A S&W 41, S&W 617, a Browning Buckmark and a Colt King Cobra .22. My 41 was purchased new in 2013. It has been flawless. As others have indicated it is picky with ammo. CCI standard, SK+ and Blazer 40 grain run well until dirty as does the mid range Eley. The 617 bought...

What question? The op starts the thread by referring to a debate but asks no questions at all. All statements. I did not comment on the points he raised. I believe anything that makes one safer or more accurate can be beneficial. I was merely commenting on his presentment.

Why do you speak to everyone else as if they are idiots?

I've drilled three on the barrel. It's not hard.

I recommend Dawson Precision sights. Their fiber optic is small but very bright. The sight itself is all steel. I have red dots on my range guns but like you I don't normally stay out at night so I use fiber optic sights on my carry guns.

I don't think you appreciate how difficult it is these days to hire competent, willing to work staff. It takes time to train new employees. This is not confined to Smith & Wesson. Most companies can't find enough workers good or bad. You're living in a dream world if you think you can just fire...

It's tough to get good help.

I too have discovered BE-86 recently. I like how clean it is and how "Bullseye" like it is.

My Xl750 definitely has a locking set screw that keeps the shell plate bolt from moving. It has a brass tip as to not damage the threads on the bolt. OP are you sure you don't have something similar? ***Edit: Apparently the SBD doesn't use a set screw. The manual just says to tighten the bolt...

Reading your posts I'm reminded of an old saying. "There are three sides to every story. Yours, mine... and the facts". I have no problem with someone relating issues that they experienced. I've had some myself. But your post is full of rumor as in you weren't there. There is a reason why...

Who pee'd in your wheaties? You compiled every internet rumor you could and presented it as fact even though you don't know. You only know what issues you've had with YOUR gun. I noticed you did relate what issue you actually had. You should stick to "just the facts".

Is it factory drilled and tapped? FYI the model 46 was discontinued in 1968.
