A few years ago I was shooting my first Model 640 357 Magnum using 38 Special Factory Ammo and it BLEW UP.Smith and Wesson sent me a replacement Model 640 357 Magnum.After this experience I gravitated to Colt revolvers and it sat in my gunsafe.Well today I took it out and noticed a few hits to the slight right of center,which is atypical to me.I loaded up once again with S+B 38 Special Ammo,pulled the trigger,got 1st degree skin burns on my hands,and the barrel 50 feet downrange.Now the replacement 640 for the one that BLEW UP BLEW UP.Pictures are to follow shortly......Mike http://entertainment.webshots.com/ph...47709249tgJAkU http://entertainment.webshots.com/ph...47709249QfqCMW Being this happened twice I am not confident in the quality of Smith and Wesson newer revolvers.The prospect of losing fingers in a third mishap is very troubling indeed and I hope they will make this right
