Dude I have returned 4-5 smiths in the last 4-5 years, the last one I just took back to the store and lost money on it. One return was so bad they gave me my money back. New Smith revolvers are a crap shoot, but again I am not an expert just someone that has bought and sold north of 20 or so smith and Wesson revolvers in my life. The old ones worked better and they shot better.
