As Slim and the others I pinged know the 1911A1 and the BHP / P35 are favorites but I rely on S&W Wheel guns just as much. I have a few S&W revolvers to include c couple of original and reproduction number 3's.

This is the first time I have heard of such barrels falling off or breaking.....wow ! Did this puppy flame cut it's self to death er something ? Crazy !!

About 5,000 round of CCI Blazer 200gr GDHP's through my 329PD with zero malfunctions etc etc ....I love the SW revolvers, but wouldn't own one of their autos unless it was like my Theodore Paris ASP 39 which IMHO was equal to starting out with a lug nut from a dodge neon and making a viper.

S&W does a lot of Kimber castings.....are they reporting any failures, metallurgy issues ??

Stay safe ya'll !

I think there's a QC problem. The barrel broke off inside the frame, right at the end of the threads.

I am in possession of a S&W semiauto and could not get it to chamber a round.

Gun scared me so bad I stuck it back in the box and am waiting for the owner to claim it.

How ya been doin'?
