Couldn't have said it any better.
I "poked" my head in here because I bought one of these. Sorry boys but these are one of the cooler .22s to come out in awhile. Breaks down in a simple manner, modular, and there's already some aftermarket barrels being made for it. I'll take it.
In all fairness, all the "old school" boys I know, would worry about how it shoots relative to anything else. Back in the day, they didn't go over everything with a microscope from what I've seen. :)
Glad S&W took care of you.
