Junk guns

Don't even think about a buy-back program, all that does is enable the gun-banners to spout about '1,014 guns off the street in our city' and engender support for their cause, from personal egos to corporate donors and politicians.

Nothing like giving them a false sense of security. I'll take free Walmart shoes for an 1864 muzzle loader from KY. It doesn't fire anyways.:D
 
I just don't understand why you don't call out S&W on there life time Warranty for the Sigma.
Please explain, did it get ran over by a tank?

Like I said, it has been replaced and I really have no use for it. Even if I got it fixed I probably wouldnt shoot it.

That makes no sense to me.

S&W will, or should fix it at no cost to you. You just don't get it, do you?:rolleyes:
 
When I would have someone come in looking for work in the gun shop I owned. I would give them a junk gun to work on see if they could turn a sow ear into a sig.

I had a young man of about 21-22 that I handed an old pre 1960 cast iron 38 revolver to, he said "wow" nice gun. :confused:
The next time I saw the gun he presented to me, all gold plated on a finished wood. "looked nice for a piece of crap." Under it said:

"Only use for intended suicide"

He grew into my best smith that I had!

Not to be argumentive, but what dont you get? I have more than one pistol that I can shoot 100x's better than a sigma and I want to deal with shipping and CS why? I just dont see the point. Only reason to keep it is to customize it.

Not sure if you ever dealt with S&W CS, but I had, all I did was make a phone call, and they sent me a shipping label. I boxed it up, they came and picked it up at my front door for free.

It was that easy. That's why I got a little harsh, it's just to easy not to do.

You never mentioned what was wrong with the Sigma, I'm just curious if it was fixed you could sell it. It's almost like free money.

Heck, you might even be doing S&W a favor, seeing a flaw in a well used gun. Saves then time on R&D maybe.
 
Im man enough to say that it was my first pistol so it really could be me, but, I had numerous FTF and FTE'. When I went to sell it the shops all wanted to give me $100 or buzz off. I've thought about shooting it but the couple hundred rds really should go through another pistol. Like I said, I have absolutely no reason to shoot it.

That's a good reason to call S&W.

I had a Sigma 9 with only one FTF out of a few thousand rounds, and it was ammo related. I think it's a good gun, so much I sold it to my brother with good faith. I did hear the 40s had some problems though.
 
Skans: I was thinking about your reply concerning the serial numbers. A lot of the older, worn out guns that I have do not have a serial number on them.

I do not think it would be a big concern unless your state has a system in which it tracks them.

But from now on, when I need a piece of tube, I am cutting the chamber away first. I would hate to be found with a shotgun barrel that consist of just a chamber and a few inches. :o
