Haven't bought one and probably won't, but I tend to agree with your impressions. The .380 auto is a real dog. I've read a lot about it and nothing was positive. Haven't seen or handled the revo, but I find your impression interesting. Most folks that have owned a revolver or two can tell if one's good or not and it sounds like this is another that S&W rushed to market. However, I was fooled by one a while back. I handled and played with a Ruger LCR and thought it was a competent piece, but I hear a lot of bad about it, as well. Seems these companies are rushing things out nowdays and expecting them to be returned for tuning under warranty. I hate playing that game. Anyways, about the only positive thing I've seen from S&W lately is the new SD series of autos and the best thing I've heard about them is that they're a lot better than Sigmas, but not as good as the M&Ps. As problematic as some of the M&Ps have been lately, I'm not sure that's much of an endorsement. Seems with them, you either get a great piece or a faulty dog. Thankfully, most of the folks here seem to have gotten good ones.
