In a real life situation, once is too often, but even on the range, I couldn't get through two or three sessions of practice without jamming.
None of my revolvers ever jammed, I've had misfires {very rare} but that didn't prevent the next round from firing.
the only S&W I have iss a 1st model Hand ejector in .45.
All my other revolvers are Colt. I never have liked autos in general and S&W’ in paticular. Tha only Auto is the M1911.
My 649 Bodyguard in .357 magnum is top shelf sweet. I understand they are selling a compact auto .380 pocket pistol under the “Bodyguard” name that is iffy. Sad.
