Exactly what I'm talking about in this and the N frame QC thread, Fudd when being honest has to admit that his prized OLDER 'Smith's (just like anything else) are equally capable of breaking, and that in what's left of his lifetime will never come close to wearing one out much less go through a box of shells. JFC....
Second example in this thread alone of Smith standing behind their product with excellent customer service and replacing without fuss a piece that had issues. Buy one and shoot it, you can't lose.
