Because they DO NOT want the slide to last shot lock back--God forbid!How odd. I wonder why they changed things.
Did they make you pay for any of the process? Their warranty leaves it open as to what they may or may not bill you for.After my initial post I went ahead and purchased one. The gun was a blast to shoot, but suffered multiple light primer strikes. All of the rounds would fire if I cocked the hammer and tried a second time. I wound up sending the gun back for warranty repair. I was very surprised when Armscor emailed me and said that the gun could not be repaired. Armscor shipped a replacement gun at no cost, but never told me what the actual issue was with the original. The new gun has shot fine so far, but I will wait until I fire at least 1000 rounds through it to make a final determination. I really like the gun, but I worry that the manufacturer has not yet worked out all of the bugs.
Mine does that too, along with a host of other failures. The magazine sticks up high enough that the spent case is dragged across the top of the next cartridge in the magazine--sometimes the ejector gets it out--often times it doesn't on my gun; so it remains jammed atop the magazine and the next cartridge gets wedged by the slide up against the barrel--that's how that dent in the case comes about. I took the firing pin out on my gun yesterday and looked it over--I don't think anything is wrong with the firing pin itself--it has more to do with proper chambering of whatever the cartridge is. If I individually hand feed each cartridge into the chamber and drop the slide on it it will usually go bang. The quality of machining and finishing on my gun is no where near the value of what they charge for the gun IMO.The gun was a blast to shoot, but suffered multiple light primer strikes.
Armscor emailed a pre-paid shipping label and did not charge anything for the replacement. It took about 8 weeks to receive the replacement. I would have preferred for the gun I purchased to have been in working condition from the factory, but the company deserves some credit for living up to their warranty obligations.Did they make you pay for any of the process?
