We have had a lot of these in our business. It is a proven design, but S&W quality control is spotty. They do not inspect products before they go out the door, so it is important the buyer does so before purchase. That is why it is better to buy in a retail shop so it can be examined up close instead of ordering online and having shipped. Be sure to check the screws for tightness after firing as they can work loose. Accuracy will vary one each one, so try different ammo brands.
