...including about 5 years with custom loaded ammo (180 XTP @ 1270 fps+/- 50 fps.). I bought mine out.
A sister department also had the same weapon but was infatuated with Winchester 175 Silvetips and broke lots of parts. The safety was a frequent casualty and at least one S&W rep labeled it (Silvertips) as a gun breaker.
That's interesting. Any ideas why the STHPs were gun-breakers? Seems that they were very similar to the custom loaded ammo your department was using...
