Jim is correct, Hick found it on his first review and according to my LGS when they had one on display, they would not sell it. They said just so everybody could get a look at it. The last time I was in there it was gone. I asked if it was sold but they told me they had to send it back but wouldn't say why. I just assumed they sold it to an employee or something but now I think its going to be a recall type situation.

I mean, how do they screw up a wheel gun? A bit mind boggling to me honestly.

My guess? I think they got the tolerances too tight on the hammer (light primer strikes) and pawl (failure to retract). In other words things binding up when it gets the least bit dirty. I'll bet a drop of gun oil in the right places will fix it.
