Ok, a belated update.
I did read in and consider myself capable of enough to detail strip the gun and did so. Clean as a whistle and mechanically correct as far as my novice eyes could tell. Regardless, I sent it out to S&W anyway because it was still messing up. Sent them a nice detailed report of what was happening. Explained that it was happening after 15-20 rounds had gone down the pipe, explained that it started with the hammer simply following the slide and not locking back, then after cleaning and adjusting the trigger it seemed like it was gone, then I took it to the range again and found it suffering from the same condition and intermittantly firing 2 or 3-round burst. Realizing a runaway gun is inherently dangerous to the operator, I figured best I leave the home gun smithing to the "experts" at S&W. They sent it back with an RO that simply read "Condition: Multiples, Solution: adjusted trigger bar"... HUH?!? I got it back dirty (to no doubt prove they had actually fired it) and found it suprisingly (though not really) STILL firing multiples. I'm gonna have to send it back again, I don't need a machine gun out of work, thinking of selling it off if this fix proves to be as useless as the last one. Any thoughts? Are they f'n me or jerking my chain on the repair or what?
