I have always had good luck with Dixie. They did send me one pistol which had so much wrong with it that I was looking around for the hidden camera when I opened it, but they took it back without any hassle. It was a Palmetto which Dixie seems to handle a lot of. There are several Palmetto kit guns which I would never consider buying. Any kit made by any one else should be generally o.k., though all of the Italian reproductions seem to have more than their normal share of lemons.
