Random observations:
At the root of the failure to fire issue lies with scumbags, who hire scumbag lawyers that sue companies for a quick and easy buck. S&W has to make their guns so safe, they barely work. Taking the firing pin off the hammer was a step in the wrong direction if you want a revolver, on which you can bet your life.
In my experience, if you send a 22 revolver back, they will recut the forcing cone. Every time. SOP. Even when it’s obvious that they hadn’t recut the forcing cone, they will tell you that they recut the forcing cone. Why can’t they get the forcing cone right the first time?
I have a four inch 617, 10 shot, MIM, hil ho that used lead up fairly quickly. I did the Wheeler’s fire lap. Almost none now. Super accurate.
With the exception of the 617 which has a barrel noticeably 5 degrees cock eyed to the left, ALL my S&Ws have the rear sight blade cranked nearly all the way to the right. I have 4 S&W 45 autos. Not a single one of them shoot to point of aim. None of them. They’re all very accurate. But to me they’re useless because I can’t zero them. So I shoot an extremely accurate Ruger SR1911 T with an adjustable rear sight.
