I read a lot of posts about how folks send a malfunctioning gun back to the factory and are unhappy with the results of: dealing with the people, quality of repair, etc., etc.
I never expect an auto to be 100 percent when I buy it, whether it is new or used.
I enjoy the tinkering and experimentation that goes into making it 100 percent reliable.
Once the gun is reliable and accurate it may become a safe queen, a carry gun or even a competition gun. It really doesn't matter. The real joy to me is knowing I've found the way to make the pistol perform as well or better than it was supposed to out of the factory.
When it comes to a factory being of little value in terms of service, I really wouldn't know. I'd rather fix it myself.
I could name a dozen guns that malfunctioned when I first got them and now are reliable enough to use as carry guns. It just took time and in some cases, a little bit of money to make them 100 percent.
Am I alone in this? Don't other folks enjoy making their machine better on their own?
I enjoy it. It is very suspenseful working on a gun and waiting until I can shoot to see if the work was successful. To me, it just adds to the shooting experience.
