Nope, Not new at all.
Been around for a long time, I just usually carry and use blued guns. Nope I don't have any problems, but I also don't shoot a whole lot of the heavy 300+ grain loads. Not for the sake of the guns, but for the longevity of my own wrists. Such heavy loads in lighter guns such as the 4" gun, when fired in large numbers tend to cause some damage to your hands and wrists over time. The guns are far easier to repair. Wrists and hands are not.

They get carried for protection, and hunting and stuff, and shot to confirm zero, but I don't pound hundreds of them downrange like I will the 240 grain loads.
