Bud's service was again excellent. Have had considerable trouble with this revolver, however. Quite simply the revolver cannot fire more than 100+ times at the range without the cylinder "overheating." Then the revolver jams and cannot fire until it "cools down." It has already been to Smith & Wesson once, and they replaced the cylinder under warranty, but the problem has reoccured. I have other S&W .22 revolvers, and they have performed flawlessly for many years, so this is quite a surprise. Perhaps, it is because the cylinder and frame are an aluminum alloy. In any event, I do not have much confidence in this particular Smith & Wesson revolver.
