Hmmmm.
It occurs to me that I've read that the X-frames have a totally different barrel design than what we've come to know from Smith & Wesson, too. I believe the barrel is a two-piece deal with a tube inside of a shroud, not unlike the old switch-barrel Dan Wesson revolvers...although the X-frame barrels were never designed to be manipulated by the end-user.
Being that you dropped this behemoth from 2.5 feet and it landed directly on the muzzle...I'm wondering if the barrel didn't get jacked inside it's shroud.
This may not be a gunsmith's project...this may be a Smith & Wesson project.
Chances are, they can make the revolver right again and even though it was your fault, I'll bet your end cost will be less than you'd spend on a gun smith.
You've piqued my interest, anyway. I do hope you follow up so we can find out what went wrong and how it was corrected.
