Also note that because S&W have installed an internal lock that has on rare occasions caused guns to jam, and more importantly, signed an agreement with the Clinton administration that would have seriously degraded gun rights, some members will degrade S&W anytime, anywhere, any when.

My S&W from 1972 sits beside me with the cylinder unable to lock up - it's from the hand fitted era. I know I can take it to the S&W service center here in my city ( I'm in Australia) and it will be repaired by a S&W armorer. The Taurus importer doesn't have a gunsmith. Even on the other side of the world S&W has better service. :P
BTW, I have had three S&Ws break internal parts through lots of use, but I would still take them over the three Taurii I checked out at the local dealer, each of which had timing issues out of the box.
