Wonder what the break even price is? Makes one wonder if these things are so cheap they are dangerous. Ive got both the 9 and just bought the 40, never been fired, now i see all these 40 problems I'm afraid to shoot it. Stupid me, I should have checked before instead of after. But Hey, that's the way I (blind trust in a well known company) operate, you'd think a 65 y/o, old fart would have learned by now. I keep forgetting we are living in the age of greed and desertion (Cash is King), guess S&W has fallen victim. Anyway after reading this young mans venture I've got my last S&W.
