I bought this revolver new in July of 2023, and immediately upon firing the first round, knew I had a problem, but did not want to admit it. It was sending debri back in my face. I continued in denial for several months, and it was too late to send it back, as I would miss using it during deer season. Once season was over, (without firing a shot) I sent it back to S&W. Five weeks later it was returned to me. The forcing cone was bevel ground, and determined to be "range ready" by the factory rep. Again, it was sending debri back, but only to the left side of my face. Another return was necessary, but this time I requested a replacement. Six weeks later I was sent my same revolver, BUT with a new barrell. Finally a fine shooting revolver.
Wanting to know if anyone else has experienced similar problems, both with the revolver, and with service.
