Thanks for coming full circle on those. I was sort of wondering what happened with that deal. Too bad S&W messed it up in the first place, but I’m glad to see they had a pretty quick turnaround on making it right. Enjoyable video as all of them. You and Mrs. 57 have a great time there in the state of Jefferson. 🇺🇸
I have a Kimber K6S DASA. I'd love a K6XS, but not having a pinned front sight is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger (pun intended). I really think it is one of my only criticisms.
They’re nice revolvers. I have a 442 & 642. The UC has some nice upgrades. I think 25 yards is a stretch for those guns. Not that they can’t hit, just at defensive distances. Looks like those 148 WCs is your round. I use Buffalo Bore hard cast in mine.
I could definitely see Lipsey’s sticking to collabs with Ruger in the future. Lipsey’s does lots of distributor special runs of Ruger SA revolvers with well chosen features; I’ve never heard of this kind of endemic QC problems with those guns.
In general I agree with you, but S&W has been having QC issues for a while now with their revolvers. I don’t know how widespread it is, but I had to send back 2 new ones (442 & 43c) for repair. The 442 simply had a yoke problem, but the 43c needed a new main spring, yoke repair and the forcing cone had to be cut. That’s an awful lot of work to be done for an $800 revolver. Again, not sure how widespread the problem is but they have been making both of these models for a while now.
So glad that you got your piece back and that she's running great for you now. I'm sorry this happened to you, initially. Try not to let it sour you and what could arguably be one of the best J frame carry packages ever. I just got the 632 myself. The way that the human interfaces with the gun (sights, grip, and trigger) is magnificent!! Nice shooting btw 😉
Don't get me wrong a Smith & Wesson j frame is probably my favorite gun. That being said this new trend of them becoming popular as carry guns lately is good but they should not be used as a main weapon. Backup only. I've seen more than enough people lose shootouts using a j frame because they simply didn't have the firepower or capacity to compete but were forced into a gunfight anyway.
I'm 69 and have never seen one shootout, let alone someone using a j frame in a shootout. You on the other hand have seen several people lose a shootout with a j frame. I'm guessing by losing you mean they all died with their empty j frame. The cop arriving on the scene must have said "omg he only had a j frame, if not he would still be alive" Where the hell do you live where you're seeing all these people losing shootouts with a j frame?
@@hankwilliams-hx9ww too many like what? 3 a.m. call to a club parking lot shootout as someone got "disrespected" as they say? my view the other 99%+ minding their own biz, 6 rds small package with1 speed load in pocket enough for a remote chance.
I'm not much of a revolver guy (For self defense purposes; love them as range guns) but I ended up snagging a 442UC because it resolved all my complaints regarding snubbies; improved sights, a grip that filled your hand and allowed for a high grip, and chamfered cylinder holes to make it easier to run speedloaders with. Unfortunately I fell into having the same problem as you did when I took it to the range; out of about 70 rounds fired, I had about 6 malfunctions where the trigger refused to reset until I took my fingers to either side of the trigger and manually pulled it forward again. Managed to repeat the issue with snap caps in it, albeit less frequently at about once every 20-25 dry fires. Got it back from S&W after sending it for repair, turnaround came out to be about six weeks, and ironically the first time I pulled the trigger on it I had the same problem happen again, but it hasn't happened since, albeit I've only managed to put about 50 rounds through it so far. I do hope that it proves to be reliable over the long term, but my normally positive expectations for S&W revolvers has taken quite a hit after seeing they were willing to ship out a revolver designed for self defense use in such shape in the first place.
When I bought my 442, the trigger was striking the frame and left two gouges. I sent it back and they replaced the frame and the trigger. It came back with an awesome trigger pull. No issues since. 👍
Wow! A special release pistol and S&W can’t it right. Doesn’t give you in confidence in their other revolvers does it. There is lot of trash talk about TAURUS and CHARTER ARMS that is applicable to S&W too. The lesson here is buy a 30 year old S&W or Colt revolver if you want a quality product.

After seeing your first video went in another direction and happy with the Kimber K6xs.

I would think that Lipseys would have someone working with S&W to watch the quality of guns they put their names on.

@FMDad-dm5qo their single lives 7s had problems. Loading gate not cut right.
Nice video…I’ve been a revolver guy since 1978, got three. No J frames though.
Just sent mine in for warranty repair. Started misbehaving after about 250 rounds. Hope they make it right.
Please add an update : we need to know how you were treated by S&W…
A lesson I learned the hard way was to wait for a new product, any new product, to work out the production problems, & it usually takes about a year.

It's a limited run from lipseys it won't be in production in a year genius

Your LEOSA course looks more challenging than mine in WA state. Every few years it seems to get easier. Matches nicely as I get older😊
I bought a 632uc and it showed up in .38 spl

@@gracedagostino5231 I work in criminal forensics. I guess I should have said that to begin with.

Looks like a total ripoff of the Colt carry Python. But not as nice... Hard pass. I'll keep my Colts.

I own several alloy j frames, my biggest complaint is the cheap watercolor finish.
Well said about who you would recommend this to and about this jframe taking a step forward in its new design option
Objection: You paint with too broad a brush. I just purchased a new Taurus 605 357 revolver and it is flawless.
