I had one, got rid of it. I like to shoot maximum loads in my big boomers and the forcing cone was not up to that. S&W can say all they want about a polished forcing cone but with the abuse it takes with that much powder being burned it will only be a matter of time before the metal begins deteriorating. The forcing cone in mine was beginning to look chewed up after about 200 rounds. I would surely load it down if I was going to practice with it a lot.
