Today while opening some old mail ran across a mailing from Gun Tests. At some point they tested a 629 and a Redhawk. The 629 they tested, presumably new, unlocked the cylinder when it fired "leaving the chamber out of alignment".
Am I correct that Smith guarantees their firearms "forever"? But returning them can be a hassle and involve some expense. And with a new one, the emotions involved would not be positive.
The only S&W I have ever owned is a Model 36, with added Tyler T-Grip. I loaned it to my son for a week and he immediately shopped for one for himself.
