A poster on another forum says that his range staff told him that they have had three S&W M-686 revolvers break off the barrels just ahead of the frames. Presumably, they were dropped, maybe on a concrete floor (?). They were rental guns; no telling how badly people treated them.
Separately, I saw an account somewhere (newspaper) that police in Hong Kong and in a SE US state have rejected S&W revolvers because the barrels broke off.
All this sounds a little fishy to me.
Has anyone here ever seen any S&W revolver with the barrel just broken off?
