I hope I have the right forum. Bought a brand new in the box S & W model 41 Performance Center on Gun Broker from a dealer with great reviews. Picked it up today and took it to my gun bench to run it thru its paces before shooting it. What a disaster! I'm 6' 2 and 290 pounds and it took all of my strength to rack it. Then it would not release. Once I got it to release I couldn't rack it again The safety works sometimes but mostly locked up. Then it would not rack by hand no matter how hard I pulled. The trigger guard you pull down to break it down for cleaning will not budge!
Every single function on this gun will not function. Racking it, the safety, the break down of the trigger guard. I haven't even considered loading it yet. Even the only thing that works is the mag release is crunchy.
How can not one function from the factory not work?
If I had a failure in warranty so be it. This gun doesn't work out of the box at all. I think some one owes me a new gun that works. Rant Over!
