This thread kinda got a little off to the left.....IMO.
I believe the general point made by most is that S&W quality has gone down or is not near as consistant as it used to be, at best.
I saw a brand new 360 Sc 357 mag lock the cylinder at a range a couple of months ago...It was the guns first shoot! The owner threw it down range.....I cant say that I blaim him. The cylinder had twisted and was cutting into the frame...not good.
The point that past gun companies having "questionable quality and history" are getting much much better...Taurus, Rossi etc.
The general quality of a Taurus gun I believe has surpassed that of S&W in consistancy...I try new guns all of the time and Taurus triggers are getting pretty damn good. S&W guns are still good, but not near the "no matter what you get, it will be good" gun that it used to be.......end of story.
Shoot well
