I, as well as others I have read online are reluctant to purchase Smith and Wesson revolvers with the "Hilary Hole" (side safety hole near the hammer) as it can jam the gun if using hot loads in a light framed gun, and it looks bad too. The older guns are more in demand from this as they don't have the aesthetic issues, I cannot understand why Smith and Wesson continues to insult their customers with this useless Clinton inspired thing?
From my experience in the American business world the last 30 years there is a lot of stupidity in the corporate realm. Anyone have an insight as to why S/W wants to loose money with this bogus safety device? I am to the point where I won't buy any of their products out of principle due to the revolver issue. I had a J frame .38 special revolver with 2" barrel about 10 years ago, and while it shot OK with regular loads I hated that hole and sold it. The so-called safety also was scratching the side of the hammer.
Thanks.
