[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3238622, member: 10465"] I picked up a S&W 340 pd in a trade not long ago. Got it home and cleaned it, and found what I suspected might be erosion on the cylinder. Apparently, somebody prior to me just ignored the warning and shot some light grain .357 mag out of this gun, which is known to cause erosion due to the way the powder burns in the lighter loads. You can't shoot anything less than 120 gr in .357 mag out of these little Airlites, and it says so. Anyway, after I discovered this, and not sure what it was, I called S&W customer service, sent a pic or two, and they sent me a label to ship it back. I decided to do so, even though I thought any costs were more than likely going to be on me since I got it used. Well, she came back yesterday with a new cylinder, all free, even shipping both ways! Now that's what I call customer service. Kudos to S&W; I was so happy, I bought a new S&W M&P .22 Compact as a small way to show my appreciation. These Titanium, cylinders aren't cheap; they didn't have to do this, but they did. I have had nothing but excellent service from S&W, and they make a fine product to start with. Here's some before and after pics (so you know it happened).
