Re: Executives @ Smith @ Wesson
I went thru this in 1991 with a newly purchased Model 57 w/ 6" bbl (or 6.5"?). I contacted an executive board member directly and the matter was resolved.
The revolver was returned to me with the most incredible bluing I've ever seen...

Re: Executives @ Smith @ Wesson
Years ago, we bought a S&W semi pistol, I think it was a 4509, something in that series.
Anyway, EVERYONE who fired that thing had the same reaction: You pulled the trigger until it bottomed out on the frame, and then you had to squeeze it an extra fraction of an inch to drop the hammer. It wasn't easy. It sucked. It was our first S&W semi-auto 9mm pistol, we just figured "that's how they are, they suck", and we sold it at a loss back to the dealer some months later.
In retrospect, it's obvious to me that it was defective.
I vaguely think that S&W has been bought by a basically anti-gun holding company. I could be wrong. But it sure looks like it, if you think back to the S&W deal with Bill Clinton, their discontinuance of some models, their poor quality, etc..Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: Executives @ Smith @ Wesson
I bought a 625 when they were fairly new. 1990 or 1991.
It had a poor finish left side, near the grip panel. Sent it to the repair facility in Germany where I was stationed. Came back to me....unsat. Sent it back...they had another go. Unsat. S&W Germany said "...it's as good as we can get it..." So, I gave up.
Oh, and the post office lost it on the way back to me the second time. I had to PAY to have it traced. That made sense to my brother's German girlfriend. "...it's YOUR pistol, why would the German taxpayer have to pay for the trace...?" Alrighty then. When in Rome....
All that said, it was the most accurate handgun I ever had the pleasure to shoot. Best trigger, best sights, dead accurate. Sold it to a Air Force Sergeant at Hahn Air Base. Hope he still has it.
