I just bought a new 642. In 150 rounds I’ve had the trigger fail to reset 3 times. I’m not sure if it’s me or the gun, is it possible for the shooter to induce a failure like this? The gun is stock except for VZ grips.
First time was with Hornady 110, recoil on that was a bit stout, and the cylinder was out of battery at the same time so I’m thinking my thumb MAY have hit the cylinder release in recoil? Can’t say for sure.
Second time was with Blazer 130 FMJ. I remember feeling like the recoil on that round was stronger than usual for that ammo for some reason too. Last time it happened was with a Fiocchi wadcutter, very little recoil on that round.
Haven’t had the issue with Speer Gold Dot or Federal HST.
I’ve never had this issue before. I’ve shot 357s out of M&P 340s and an 340 PD, and other than hating it didn’t have a problem. I’m not particularly recoil sensitive, so I don’t think it’s me, but I can’t say for certain. Haven’t had anyone else shoot the gun yet. I’ve had a number of j frames though and never had this issue so I’m hesitant to blame myself here. I’ve tried but can’t make this happen in dry fire.
Is it time to send the gun back to S&W?
