Three for me in the last 8 months.

A M632-2 & two M638's, one of which I gave to my son.

I had a M500 in 4 inch, the only issue I had was that I underestimated the power of the 500 in a short barrel. The gun functioned flawlessly, and the fit and finish were excellent.After awhile the novelty kind of worn off, I might have kept it if it were 8 3/8". I had and still have a FA 454, that's a handful as well, but not quite as much as the 500.
Now I'm ready to buy a 627UDR, as soon as I can find one locally.
Admittedly I don't care for the placement of the IL, if they hid it under the grips it would be fine with me, and the MIM parts are moot. I have other guns with MIM and the triggers are sweet.

Edit: I forgot, duh! Bought 2 M442's, 2 M642'S, 1 M38-3, 1 M37-2 , the only one with an issue was a 642 where the frame cracked. S&W replaced it under warranty, in less than 10 days, even though I was not the original owner. The gun was about 12 yo.

I picked up my first revolver the S&W 629 V-Comp in November '11 and I couldn't be happier. I am still amazed at the trigger on this thing. I own 2 other Smiths a 1911 and M&P 15 that I've had for a few years and have been completely satisfied with them.

Within the last year a 640-1, 63 and a 67, all new from the factory. No complaints, very satisfied with the quality and workmanship.

Default I miss read the thread

I thought this was a "New to Me" thread not a "New Gun" thread. My mistake... But in response to the previous post...
The SW 500 and M&P .45 were sold or traded but..... not because they were new
