Well, my current S&W 360PD just had the lock lock the gun up, after about 100 rounds, and maybe, 3000 dry fires.

Action feels like it's made out of really cheap metal, no finishing, and, it doesn't seem to want to improve. I suspect
MIM parts in the action, though I can't be sure. It is getting a bit better, but, it's going on 10 thousand dry fires to do it.
I wonder about the wisdom of using MIM parts in such a hard recoiling gun, and, I would have the same concerns about the lightweight 44's...

It's funny, but, prior to this, I sort of discounted the MIM parts thing, and the lock stuff. Always figured it would happen to someone else's guns. However, after a broken slide stop, and broken safety, on two kimbers, and, this lock locking the gun up, on the S&W, I'm going to have to listen more...
