I found this on another forum and thought that it may be of interest to some here...
If you have a Performance Center .460 S&W Magnum, in the serial number ranges below, you should probably send it in to Smith & Wesson to get them to check and, if necessary, replace the barrel. They've had a few incidents of the barrels coming off when the gun was fired.
EBD0001 to EBD0524
EBF0002 to EBF0251
LHZ0000 to LHZ0511
LLL0000 to LLL0702
LRR0001 to LRR0552
MMM0001 to MMM1809
XMC0001 to XMC0109
If you've bought one recently, look for a punch mark above and to the left of the SN. If that's there, then Smith has already made sure that your gun is safe.
