[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2747716, member: 115658"] Yes, looks like a timing problem. Revolver shipped back to Smith & Wesson, Springfield Massachusetts via Fed Ex. Shipping process was easy & quick. I sent S&W an on-site email asking for warranty repair, they responded next working day with an email providing detailed instructions regarding shipping & a prepaid 2-day Fed Ex mailing label. We dropped off the little gun at an Authorized Fed Ex site next to our local airport on Monday early PM. Smith & Wesson at Springfield Massachusetts received the little gun before noon on Wednesday. Usual repair work runs 6-8 weeks. Did S&W make some deal with Fed Ex making Fed EX an FFL to enable shipping? I noticed that the cylinder did not lock up at 1 chamber. Extractor star looked like it was chewed up slightly by hand. No signs of scraping on front of cylinder. Difficult to cock for single action use after 1 round fired with better copper plated bullet ammo - CCI Mini Mag. Wifey was disappointed but is anticipating future use. Little gun to compliment her .22LR (rifle) .223, 9 twist & .22-.250 7.7 twist. The cheap .22LR Blazer ammo performs extremely well in a Ruger M77/22 & Ruger MKIV. We plan to try CCI Tac .22LR thinking it will shoot cleaner. All the match grade .22LR ammo that I have seen are plain lead bullets, no copper plate. [/QUOTE]
