I've oft sung the praises of the S&W 640 pro that I acquired less than a year ago. However, it seem i've acquired a lemon. First, it had a FTF, made a trip to the factory, and was returned. Then, it locked up for some reason or other, made a trip to the factory, and was returned with frame repaired. Now, about a month after oiling and waxing and carrying it, it has the unhappy fate of acquiring surface rust on the cylinder star. What gives? My steel gp100 has no rust and has been carried in rain and shine and environments more rugged and wild than my relatively pampered 640.
This is strike three, and there comes a point when you just have to let it go. So, although I admire the 640 in theory, it has not proven itself to be a carry piece that meets my need. For that, today, I go back to my proven S&W 442.
I invite you all to share stories of other lemons that may have come your way, and your response to them. Trade it? Pawn it? Bury it in the yard? Make lemon juice? Whats your story??
