S&W must have a wide range of quality that is being put out because often when a company puts out guns that have cracked bbls or major flaws like that, they tend to put out crappy gun in general. I don't think this is the case with S&W because I have seen some fine new revolvers that I couldn't find a single flaw with. What is going on that some guns are perfect and some have major flaws like a cracked bbl?
My 642-2 is flawless. It was made last year sometime and I have been looking it over very closeing all day because of the other post on the S&W 637. I can anything that I would consider a flaw. The MIM trigger has me a little worried because of the stories I have heard but it looks good and feels great on my finger. The trigger pull is odd. It is not bad but it is a little stange when you are used to the older revolvers. I think it is better than most of the older Rugers and S&W that I have felt. It is light and smooth and stages at the end which is nice for a hammerless to do.
I like the older guns more than most people, I have a C&R so I buy a lot of the old time stuff but this new S&W that I have is fine. I can't see what people are screaming about. I don't blaim people for getting mad about a cracked bbl, that is a problem. What I don't understand is, why are people against anything new? If it is not just like it used to be, someone always gets mad.
