I agree, but then again I've owned a lot more S&W pistols than Ruger. One of my Shields had shorts in the frame from the ejection molding process. That is, enough polymer didn't fill up the mold while the frame was being made. It's basically cosmetic, but I worked as an ejection molding technician for years for a large international company, and we NEVER let add like that pass by. It gets scrapped. When I contacted S&W about that and the recoil spring that busted only after a few mags out of a new pistol, they completely ignored the pictures and my complaints. They just offered to replace the recoil spring.If the competition is S&W I would say that Ruger puts out a better product these days.
At least regarding revolvers. My last 3 new S&Ws have had issues. One went back 4 times in all.
Believe me I know. I've seen countless other people who say they had the same experience. I tried to point that out to @triplebike and others in here: Probable new gun owners, a tale of two firearm manufacturers... Seems Sig, S&W, and some get a pass and people dismiss their terrible QC and warranty service while holding others (usually budget prices pistols) to a higher standard.
