A cracked frame is a deadline item. S&W will not fix it, nor will ANY manufacturer. If its covered under the original warranty, (and if you aren't the original owner, better ask S&W) S&W will replace the frame with another one, and give it the original frame's serial number. Replace, not repair.
If you're buying the gun second, or third hand, its pretty much worth only what the undamaged parts will bring, and nothing more.
