Update..................

S & W gave me a Fed Ex shipping label...later today it'll be on its' way back to S & W.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I had issues with two Ruger Superblackhawks and had to send them back a no. of times. I shoot medium loads & quite a few .44 Specials in my .44 Magnum pistols. I take good care of them, but I get upset when they don't function as they should.

I'll report back what I am told after S & W repairs it.
