Within 500 rounds of purchasing my p22 my hammer started hanging up and I then noticed that the hammer was cracked at the base, almost hidden by the frame. I sent it to S&W and they had it back within 5 days and paid for the shipping both ways. It has worked fine ever since and I am a customer for life because of their customer service. I also have a P99 and planning to get a compact P99 or SW99 just because of S&W service and product.
