That sir is Beautiful !

That said, the range I go to (but not all summer long) has A/C & still stupid hot in there.

I no longer go, if I'm gonna sweat, then the free use of outdoors is fine w/me, as I'll not pay for that !

Congrats on a nice firearm !

That's lovely! I have been hearing such things about S&W as well as Ruger. Good these companies are making things right for their customers, it really means a lot.

How did you work out receiving the new revolver? Because it is quite a different revolver, not even just a different serial number of the same model, did you have to work it out through a local FFL?

[rcslotcar]

Wow, nice upgrade!

Exactly right... S&W shipped the new revolver to my FFL, then I had to DROS it and wait ten days to pick it up.

More than worth it, though!

Not really, but you must give them credit- they did the best they could and did right by the customer.

That was cool of them but... it's not as nice as what you had..

[jarhead714]

Wow, nice upgrade!

No that's a down grade. Still nice though.

[Gundiver]

Um yeah where's the old one? Broken or not.

I guess you'd have to ask S&W.

And yes, I'll still be on the lookout for a bright-nickeled classic like the one I lost... after all, a lady can never have too many 29's!

Nice to hear. I had to ship my Performance Center 327PD back to S&W about 5 years ago to address a light strike timing issue. They took it back no fuss, no drama, fixed it, and shipped it back to me with the original grips and threw in a set of the new-style Performance Center walnut grips as well.

Did they tell you where the crack was on the revolver?

Did they tell you where the crack was on the revolver?

No, they just said the frame was cracked, but didn't say where.

[jarhead714]

Do you think it was cracked when you got it?

[Aiala]

Do you think it was cracked when you got it?

There's no way for me to be absolute certain, but I imagine it was already cracked. I put very few rounds through it after the purchase... probably fewer than two dozen, and more of those were .44 specials than magnums.
