Interesting S&W info...

Ok Change 50000 it shoots a .327 round and I thought you said .357 so no thanks I'll wait till the .357 comes in 7 shot cap.

Probably won't happen -- but the .327 Mag is a round worth checking out...

Yeah but easy it is to get ammo for? See that's the problem!

The s&w fanboys who bash Taurus at every opportunity are strangely silent tonight.

Well, I'm a S&W fanbois, but I don't bash Taurus. I own one of their wheelguns & like it just fine.

This photo has been making the rounds and has been pretty well hashed over already.

The owner didn't see the problem until AFTER he'd shot it & done an action job on it. It's not like it's something you would be looking for.

My guess is the machinist finished a run 686+ flutes & forgot to change the software to plain 686. Set it aside & somebody else came by & picked it up.

Schiznit happens. S&W will make it right.

That's interesting... Aren't you the guy that talked about peening front sights on a 1911 that were way undersize after the guy was sold one like that? To me, a company that backs up their products is the one to buy from.

I've made a bunch of parts including dovetail sights and scope mounts(sold under another company name), so I'm very familiar with this stuff.

Smith and Wesson does a reasonable job of making stuff. Since they are stepping up to the plate and getting stuff fixed is very nice to see. I've seen XD's fail during classes at Front Sight. I've seen Glock slides crack and magazines fail when new. No company is perfect.

Using extreme sarcasm here. I just wanted to be the first one who said it before someone really ment it. To me it matters none. I am a machinist, when you work with big lots stuff happens. Who cares, get it fixed and move on. I am a big S&W fan, own many of their products including knives. Good stuff IMO. I am certain to hear "what ifs" or well "it could have" but the fact is it didnt. Nothing happened.

I'm a S&W fanboy, and I've also owned a Taurus (and liked it just fine) - a M85 was my first snubby...

okay just got back from my gun safe, i had to check my s&w 686+ and my s&w 637-2, i'm all good here. Til this day i still stand by smith and wesson products. I tried other, such as the rossi and have noticable problems. I also have a taurus in jail and herd both negative and positive things about it but i'll be the one that decides if a gun is good for me or not.

Buy older used S&Ws. Problem solved.

[Can't buy anything here]

With their excellent no cost repair/replace policy, I would not hesitate to buy a new smith.

Nonsense, Taurus makes good guns. I think the most recent was on Oct 15, 2002 at 10:30 in the morning...
