I will almost assuredly be flamed for what I write here but I'm a big boy so here goes........................
S&Wr warrants the original purchaser of one of their firearms, not the gun per say. If you gift the gun to someone, or sell it to me for example, the gun (and new owner) have no warranty. Please see the following..............
LIMITEDWARRANTY
For Owners Within The United States.
This warranty is granted by Smith & Wesson Corp. This warranty
is effective from the date of purchase and applies to the original
owner of any firearm. With respect to such firearms, this warranty
supersedes any and all other warranties.
Smith & Wesson firearms are warranted to be free from defects
in material and workmanship. Any such defects of which Smith &
Wesson receives written notice within one year from the date of
purchase by the original owner, will be remedied by Smith &
Wesson without charge within a reasonable time after such notification
and delivery of the firearm as provided below.
In the event of an emergency (repairs needed by law enforcement,
an upcoming match or hunting trip), call 1-800-331-0852,
ext. 2905 and ask for 911 Priority Repair Service. This allows you
to speak with a Smith & Wesson representative. Immediately
upon receipt, your firearm will be assigned to a gunsmith. After
the work is completed, we will return your Smith & Wesson
firearm via overnight delivery.
Warranty claims (in writing) and the firearm concerned should be
delivered to Smith & Wesson#700;s Customer Service Department,
2100 Roosevelt Avenue, Springfield, Massachusetts 01104. In
addition, a copy of the bill of sale in the owner#700;s name, or a copy
of ATF Form 4473 indicating date of purchase must be included.
It is important that the owner comply with all applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations in the shipment of firearms
to Smith & Wesson.
Warranty claims should state the model and serial number of the
firearm concerned and the description of the difficulty experienced.
It is recommended that shipments be insured by the
owner, since Smith & Wesson will accept no responsibility for
loss or damage in transit. Transportation and insurance charges
for return to owner will be paid by Smith & Wesson if the claim is
covered by the warranty.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SMITH & WESSON BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
WITH RESPECT TO ECONOMIC LOSS, INJURY, DEATH
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF
BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE.
Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you.
Smith & Wesson will not be responsible for:
Defects or malfunctions resulting from careless handling,
unauthorized adjustments or modifications made or attempted by
anyone other than a qualified gunsmith following Smith &
Wesson authorized procedures, or failure to follow the disassembly
instructions in the Smith & Wesson manual.
Use of defective or improper ammunition, corrosion, neglect,
abuse, ordinary wear and tear, or unreasonable use.
Criminal misuse, negligence or use under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Smith & Wesson#700;s Lifetime Service Policy begins after the warranty
period has expired. Smith & Wesson will repair, without
charge, for the lifetime of the original owner, any Smith & Wesson
handgun purchased on or after February 1, 1989, and any
M&P15 series rifle, that is found to have a defect in material or
workmanship. Eligibility for this Lifetime Service Policy requires
returning the Product Registration Card within 30 days of purchase.
The Lifetime Service Policy covers functional defects; it
does not include the firearm#700;s finish, grips, magazines or sights.
The Lifetime Service Policy is in addition to and not an extension
of the Smith & Wesson Warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have
other rights that vary from State to State.
Note: All liability is excluded in the event that the instructions in
the Smith & Wesson manual are not observed.

If you choose to buy a new Rugerr for example please consider the following.........................
WHY NO WARRANTY CARD HAS BEEN PACKED WITH THIS NEW RUGER FIREARM
The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written warranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be designated as limited or as full and sets minimum standards for a full warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to provide any written warranty, either limited or full, rather than to attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and
the regulations issued thereunder. There are certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As the extent and interpretation of these implied warranties varies from state to state, you should refer to your state statutes. Sturm, Ruger & Company wishes to assure its customers of its continued interest in providing service to owners of Ruger firearms.
If you should buy a Taurusr (or a Rossir), you have a LIFE TIME LIMITED WARRANTY. The gun itself is warranted, not the purchaser. You could be the 2nd owner, 20th owner, or 200th owner and the gun still carries a LIFE TIME WARRANTY! See the following..............

*How Do I Get Service?*
To simplify repair and service Forjas Taurus and Taurus International products
are serviced and repaired by Taurus International. Questions regarding the

Florida at 1-305-624-1115 or in writing to:

If you want accurate, informative, and *TRUTHFUL* information about Taurusr firearms, and not internet BS; go here...........
I own seven (7) Taurusr revolvers..........
Mdl 85B2CH 38 Special purchased 1994
Mdl 85B 38 Special purchased 1997
Mdl 85SS2UL 38 Special purchased 2007
Mdl 605SS3 357 Magnum purchased 2005
Mdl 605SS2 357 Magnum purchased 2010
Mdl 617SS2 357 Magnum purchased 2003
Mdl 669SS4CP 357 Magnum purchased 1996.
*ALL* of these guns function flawlessly.
Taurusr doesn't make cheap guns, they make inexpensive guns; there is a huge difference. Smith & Wessonr revolvers are exorbitantly expensive, Taurusr guns are affordable.
I carry two (2) Taurusr revolvers every day and feel that I am well armed.

Hey if you want, I'll take a crap in a box and put a guarantee on it. But what do you have? A guaranteed piece of crap!

I don't necessarily disagree with those statements.[;)]
Tommy Boy was on HBO last night, and your post reminded me of a quote:

at least it comes with papers[:D]
I had one of their little 9mm pos specials blow up in my face. It cost me $50 or so to send back for warranty work. I got it back and dumped it because I just couldn't trust it. I couldn't risk pulling the trigger on a goblin and getting a firing pin in the face.
You buy cheap, you get cheap.
Yeah, Taurus will 100% warranty any of their pistols.

YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER DEALER,[:0]
LAST HAND GUN MY DEALER SENT OUT FOR ME COST $7.50[^]

Unfortunately, I bought the pistol from a gun show dealer - one of the ones that doesn't have a store front but sells tons of stuff at every show for "cheap."
"Cheap" in this case also means no responsibilty for customer service after the sale.
I had to send the pistol UPS overnight to the factory. Now I do have a local FFL if need be.

had one of them dealers , sold us a new charter 22mag snub nose , it would key hole all brands as close as 5 yards, didn't want to bother with it and charter wanted us to send it on our dime, BS.
the next show we traded the gun back to the same dealer, took a loss but it would have been the same as if we mailed it back, figured if they sold it again then there would be 2 people out there to bad mouth them,,,,,,,word of mouth goes a long way sometimes
