A friend of mine gave me one of the "stretched Schoefields" in .45 Colt. (Fauxfield?
) I forget the brand.
Went to the range, fired 12 times (standard factory 255gr lead). I gave it back to him. Gun opened a couple times, and had other issues. Looked great, worked like crap.
A GOOD one would be a really neat gun.
Just checked with my friend, the bad gun was Cimmaron, Armi San Marco.
It boggles my mind that anyone would make a gun, that they know is going to be mainly purchased by shooters and collectors, and NOT take the time (despite the expense) to make them
right.
Truly a short term outlook. Make a buck now, and get out. Screw the fools who actually bought the product. This time next year I'll be VP of a company that makes wheel bearings or headphones, or retired on a beach somewhere....this kind of attitude is all too common, and not just in the gun industry.
