Comparing something that has a total of a few dozen parts to one that has thousands of parts, uses electrical, chemical, and mechanical science to make it work and costs 15+ grand is in no way analogous.
Post #57 was my post. When I finally got that little Llama MicroMax back with its new slide, it has performed flawlessly through over 500 rounds, not a single hiccup. When it had its recall to fix the over-hardened slide, it was only a few weeks after they became available, I had mine on a pre-order. So the gun was actually still having teething problems to iron out. Kudus to Metroarms for finding and recognizing the problem and issuing an expensive-to-them recall on the affected guns. I didn't have to sit in a void waiting for 6 months. They undertook extensive testing of different metallurgy to find the absolute best for the slides on these guns, tons of testing, and they kept me posted of progress along the way. It was a long wait, but I am VERY HAPPY with my little 380!
There's not a lot of slave labor involved in making any of the Philippine 1911s. Armscor/Rock Island, Metroarms, and Shooters Arms Manufacturing all use pretty much state-of-the-art CNC machining to produce their guns.jimku said:
