I wish bets had been taken on this because I knew from the original post that S&W would turn out to be the winner. Heck, the S&W gun could have been abducted by aliens and lost in space only to have a better turn around time and a complete repair; whereas, the Taurus gun could have been hand delievered to the President of Taurus himself for repair and they would have still bungled the repair job and taken weeks upon weeks, months, maybe even light years and still would have never been able to complete the repair and deliver the gun on time: even though they could instantaneously transport the pistol right into the living room after the repair was half done, but "ready" for "beaming out".
