[quote=GaryS;136367734]So there I was, minding my own business, reading through this thread. I have a 20 or so year old 442 with satin finish. It's the one I just go through replacing the rebound and main spring on to lighten the trigger pull. Going to be my pocket gun.

I decided to casually walk down to the gun safe and take a quick peek at mine just be sure I didn't have a frame crack. I don't have 500 rounds through this, so how likely is it? Cant' be, right?

I opened the safe, took out the piece, opened the cylinder and - HOLY GUACAMOLE!

A huge crack, easily twice as wide as the one in the photo.

I'll probably wait until I go out to the factory for a tour in April to bring it in.

Thanks ladder 13 for starting this thread. It would be bad enough if the barrel fell of at the range, imagine if I actually had to use it for self defense.[/quote

I heard the pres and govment motors were looking for crash dummies, maybe you should apply since you seem very errr ahhh, brave? LOL

Well, I did get a new gun. And I wasn't the original owner.
