What is the life expectancy or amount of rounds a person can get through a Scandium, AirLight or alloy snubby until it wears out????
I just read that the life expectancy for the Kel-Tec is about 6000 rounds. Giving that it is made from a polymer frame with a steel slide and barrel, I am thinking the Smith and Wesson snubbies would be less since it is made from an alloy material.
I have also read how the cylinders begin to act up once heat is induce making me think how trust worthy are these lite weight guns????
Perhaps an all stainless steel snubby like the Ruger SP 101 would be a better choice, but the weight is something to think about.
Can anyone give the facts and round count they have had with the S&W Scandium, AirLight, alloy snubbies. Have any of you had any problems with these tpyes of pistols???
I was thinking of converting over to a revolver as my mine CCW, but am having second thoughts after reading these guns too have issues.
