I got a call from the shop yesterday -- the gun is back and fixed. I went up with 200 rounds of 9 mm to try to break it, but didn't get to shoot more than 50 before the original problem arose. The pins in the slide and the rear of the grip had worked out again. This was the original problem before the slide came off, and was communicated to the shop and to Greg Jimenez at Wilson Combat.

Wilson told the shop to give me a new one, but I just don't want it. The shop agreed to give me a store credit for the purchase price of the gun minus $50, though Wilson is taking the broken one back and sending them a new one. Kinda sucks, but it seems to be the best I can do -- $50 to shoot 200 rounds through a broken gun. Oh, well . . . maybe I can save someone else a similar trial.

I am the proud owner of a new S&W 686+ 6" barrel 7-shot revolver. Should make a fine Action Pistol and Speed Steel gun, and will probably remain assembled in use. If only it were blued . . .
