what did you by ? the box ( package) or the gun...........if it was on a shelf, in a store or shop and you handled it, you knew what you had , when they got the package (box) out to do the paper work, duh....a little light should have come on........or was it "picked off" the shelf as the 357 and they never looked at what was actually in the box, again, duh, some sort of a light should have come on...either the distributor following the factory or the dealer who got it..........duh. lights may be on and NO-one is home.......... 8) :roll: :wink:
