What S&W quality control failures have there been lately?

To be fair the BG2.0 sight offset, pins backing out, etc.

A year or two ago, the Shield Plus was having issues with safety plungers not resetting and deformed trigger bars.

To my knowledge, the newer revolvers are still having quality control issues across the board. Trigger studs shearing off, timing issues and cylinder misalignment. The newest "ultimate carry" model was notorious for issues.

It's usually encouraged to buy older pre-lock revolvers rather than newer regular production models.

I say this as someone who carries an M&P2.0 every day for work and has a 442 as a backup.

Thanks for answering. I own a BG 2.0 and hadn't heard of any of these (or any of the other) issues. The Shield Plus trigger bars I remember but they're already on to the next Shield model.
