You guys are stuck on a very serious charge..Fraud. I have seen no proof of that charge and for that matter not even a reasonable argument to support a hint of it.
In my opinion the argument presented by Michael has become academic at best. If you cannot convince people who are on your side..what hope is there to convince a third party? I would be very carefull with the printed word. David Carroll already HAS a lawyer. He might be itching for some billable hours... Jerry Burney

I have decided to delete what I just now posted here...I don't have a dog in this fight.

yes, I agree Ron, this is past "asking for our opinions" and going to no where....

The subject can be viewed from another angle. I understand the frustration on this COLT, Michael probably lost some $$ (guesstimation, I know nothing about COLT). According to a Yahoo story that I just read a few minutes ago, if $1000 was put into Fannie Mae, it's $2-$3 now, if $1000 was put into AIG, it's now $15. It's **very very lucky** that $5000 was not 'invested' into those. Regardless of whatsoever, this COLT performs way better.

Michael
I know what you must feel,I did something just as stupid I sent a luger to a so called luger restorer to be reblued along with payment and return shipping money and that was in 2006 and still waiting. So do like I did eat the loss and learn from the mistake. Ron Welch |

Update:
I had had this revolver examined for mechanical fit and function by Peter Stefansky, a professional gunsmith and President at Bain & Davis Inc., a gun shop located at 307 East Valley Blvd in San Gabriel, CA 91776-3522. Mr Stefansky has observed its cylinder making contact with its frame when its yoke is swung out. He has observed damage on the frame of this revolver, at the places where the cylinder makes contact with it. He was unable to find any marks of damage or abuse on the frame, yoke, or cylinder of this revolver. Mr Stefansky has also examined Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers, Serial Number 50188, Registration 1829, and Serial Number 60220, no Registration number, for comparison of their mechanical fit and function. In both of these revolvers the cylinder rotates free of the frame with the yoke open. In his opinion, the observed interference between the cylinder and the frame of Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver, Serial Number 47449, Registration 843, is due to a manufacturing defect. I will produce a copy of Mr Stefanskyâ??s sworn declaration to this effect on request.
I have listed this gun on Gunbroker.com with a full disclosure of its condition and provenance. As President of CADA, David Carroll deserves all the publicity he can get.
