How the hell do you NOT use the trigger to fire it?
Right -- he said "using the trigger to cock and fire."I am not the poster, but I imagine the contrast is with firing double-action vs. single-action.

This is not unique to S&W, I sent a Rossi 851 to Taurus on 4-1-19 for a recall repair. They told me that it could not be repaired so I asked that they return it to me. I have spoke with them several times and e-mailed them several times and as of 1-24-20 I still have not received the gun and they never replied to my last e-mail.
Unacceptable. First, I would be asking for a replacement if it was recalled for a defect and couldnt be repaired. Kind of like pumping gas and then going in to find out they cant break a $20, well I guess gas is free today.This is not unique to S&W, I sent a Rossi 851 to Taurus on 4-1-19 for a recall repair.

So on this particular cylinder, is it completely aluminum (meaning no chamber sleeves)?
They sent me a new Taurus 6 shot very similar to the original Rossi. It’s not shiny polished and I liked the grip better on the Rossi, but they did send it out in about 60 days. I also have a Taurus 1911 that had an issue with the slide. The way they finish the slide/bolt face sucks. It had a gouge on the slide from what I believe is a narrow belt sander used to finish the bolt face. I called them, emailed pictures, within an hour they sent me a FedEx return label and by 9:00am the next day the FedEx guy was at my office to pick it up! 6 days later the FedEx guy brought it back, new slide and barrel. Slide still wasn’t finished to my satisfaction but I figured this was probably as good as it was going to get so I got out my Swiss file set and made the slide face look like it was supposed to. Why is it always handguns with service problems? Springfield, Mitchel-Hi-Standard, EAA, and two Taurus. Never a long gun! I take that back, I have a SIG/B. Rizzint TR-20 28 ga O/U that had a safety issue after about 10 shots. Again I called, talked to the Service big shot, he said he could probably tell me how to fix it but would rather I send it to him and he’d be sure that was the issue and fix it. Same thing, emailed a return label, it was back in about a week, hasn’t missed a lick since and it’s had several thousand rounds through it too. I’ve got it’s baby brother.410 too and it’s never missed a lick either. Oh yes, I had an early Ruger Vaquero that you couldn’t hit a 5 gal bucket with 3 shots out of 6 at 10 paces, they wanted me to send it in but I traded it for a Blackhawk instead. Almost always handgun problems!This is not unique to S&W, I sent a Rossi 851 to Taurus on 4-1-19 for a recall repair. They told me that it could not be repaired so I asked that they return it to me.

kinda glad I have a 617, even though I've thought of trying to find a 317 to go with it.
Knowing the heat conducting properties of aluminum, I'm surprised they would use that metal for a cylinder.
@F1 i'm curious, does your 6" have a canted barrel?
I have the 4" and it'd definitely nicely balanced.
I would guess the thinking was that no one was going to go to the range and shoot 100 rounds at a time through one.
