What in the world happened to quality control with pistol makers??
In the last 30 yrs I've been buying g guns left and right, some years one or two deals, some years 10 or 12 deals, likes and wants change and I adjust my collection to reflect.
In all that time I have never had to send any pistol back to any manufacturer for any reason......
In the last 6 months, I've sent two back and am about to send my third.
Ruger Wiley Clapp, purchased new with a cylinder that would lock up, and was not hitting POA.
Smith and Wesson PC1911, fitment issues that were gouging the frame in multiple places, and again another gun not hitting POA.
And lastly a purchased used but unfired Dan Wesson 1911 shoots like a dream but has the wrong height front sight on it, causing 3" hi hits at just ten yards, and over a foot high at 35.
None of these are economy guns in my opinion, nor should they have arrived with the issues at hand.
Wondering if I've just hit a really bad run of luck, but really three in a row?? Or has QC become a thing of the past as they figure many won't take the time to send something back......?
