That's not really a controlled experiment. Could be this week that either S&W or Taurus have to deal with more warranty work than normal. What if Taurus only gets 15 firearms for work but S&W gets 600? Or vice-versa? Obviously the company that is backlogged will take longer for the turnaround.

That's an unusually long turnaround time for Smith and Wesson---7 weeks.

Although I stated in the beginning this was not a controlled experiment, I am still disheartened to see that Taurus did not correct the problem on the first time around.
