This is not a "motivation to purchase" post or anything like that, this is a post of curiosity.
I've watched a few videos of the S&W Mdl 27 Classic, and all of em have fussed about the rear sight screw being directly over the cylinder gap and causing excessive flame cutting and the cylinder to burn. I know the flame cutting will eventually stop, but the cylinder burning... is this superficial and merely cosmetic, or is it structurally damaging to the cylinder ? Also, does any of the other "Classic" lineup suffer from this ? Mdl 19, 25, 29, etc ?
*Please.... for the love of all that's holy, avoid bashing new production S&W. It is what it is. If that's unpleasant to you, hunt down an old production piece.*
