Canted barrels, cracked frames, tool marks, chattering in the bore, cracked MIM parts, cracked forged parts, poor lock up, bad cylinder timing, barrels breaking off, poor machining on extractor star... Funny, one would think these are all only Taurus complaints but these same complaints pop up here with fair regularity. The difference is that we sometimes want to place S&W on this pedestal like they are the pinnacle of firearms perfection. Or at least some of us talk that way. I still get a good laugh out of that old ad that shows a hamburger in the shape of a GP100 on a bun. It said something about how they only want thickness in a burger and not their gun. It was a poke at how Ruger casts the GP100 frame and how S&W uses forged steel in their frames. My point is I like bashing when it's clever and not ugly, but the constant bashing here is borderline childish at times.
