I recently had my local shop order me one of S&W's revolvers from their Classic line, a 4" M27.
I took it to the range and put some .38s downrange. The trigger was pretty stiff, so I bought some snap caps and dry-fired the heck out of it, trying g to break in the trigger. My M29's trigger is SO much better, and I hoped it would smooth out and lighten up like that one did.
Well, I was dry-firing it when it did something weird (felt kinda like a short stroke) and the double-action trigger pull just stopped.
I took it to my gunsmith (same local shop that ordered it). He took it apart and discovered the hammer stud (pin the hammer swings on) broke! Darn thing snapped clean! It was put back together and boxed up to send back to Smith.
I have the WORST luck with firearms.
