The front sight is loose…The rear sight hinge pin is coming out…Mpro7 seems to remove the finish from the underside of the grips and take the color out of the laser work…I sent #16 back to DW today because of my jamming problem…
I' sending mine back also….too many FTF...Front site loose, back site lose after session at range…had several "lite" strikes on primers with failure to ignite…with Corbon, Blazer ammo.
…the sights on 2 RZ's…appear to be slightly canted (crooked), as viewed from shooting position…the front sights on 2 Patriots were loosely installed…rear of the dovetail was struck with a punch (at the factory)…to tighten-up the fit…one RZ which has exhibited some light firing pin strikes…RZ grips appear to be either painted or dyed black. Yuck! …brown wood peeking out at the tops of the diamonds.
…new Patriot Expert…Problem is that 2 or 3 rounds per magazine fail to go into battery. Most of the time the thumb safety cannot be engaged.
Razorback #5 will not feed jack !*&@ …have tried 5 different brands they will not feed into the barrel…
…pretty disappointed with my Patriot Marksman…blueing is inconsistent…rear sight has never stayed in place through a round of shooting…extractor has begun spewing casings all over the place…ejector is peened on the rear part, causing a nice large gap between it and the slide.
I picked up my patriot…the front sight was so loose I was able to push it most of the way out with my thumb…
…A DW pointman major…having some feeding issues, the gun will eject the spent shell, and jam the next round half way in the chamber and half way out of the mag…used Federal fmj 230 gr, and cci blazer 230 gr both with the same results…gun will jam 4 times out of 50 shots…mags require a good smack to get them past the mag catch…last round is fired the slide does not seem to be locking back properly 2 out of 5 mags…when handeling…and after locking the slide back to inspect…I would drop the slide by way of depressing the slide stop…takeing the hammer to half cock 4 out of 10 times, <Spelling errors are replicated from original post>
I just bought a PTE-S yesterday….ejector didn't look right….I think it's broken…a brand new gun….haven't even fired the gun yet….it's 100% broken…jagged, and…no protrusion…really frustrated…How can a new, top of the line DW pistol be shipped like this? Doesn't Dan Wesson have quality control…?
The nickeled GS turned out be more yellow than I had first thought….the very tip of the hammer is very nicely impact nickeled now from repeated (every shot) contact with the beavertail…the brass was hitting the slide behind the ejection port…
…new Pointman Minor PM2-P…grip panel cracked…grip bushing comes out with srew…got 4 rounds through jam ,jam again -tried differnt ammo jam-jam-jam wont extract or feed properly!!!Did i get a lemon!
…the Rz…two glaring errors. (#1) With the pistol empty & hammer down (condition 0) The thumb safety can go half way to engaged & stay there…(#2) The hammer seems too long and is already making a pretty nasty mark in the dished out area on the beavertail.
With only 250 rounds of S&B 230gr FMJs downrange, I have these issues…Shoots three inches below POA at 21 yards…Rear sight set screw keeps wiggling loose… Barrel link pin falls right out…DW medallion on left side grip panel fell off…Front sight has worked loose
Pointman minor PM3…The mag it came with sent the first rnd directly into the frame. So did all other mags tried including CMC and Wilson…some of the brass bonks me on the head sometimes.
…new Patriot Expert…2nd to last round from each mag the trigger didn't return forward all of the way. I had to move it forward to be able to shoot the last shot….
When i recieved the weapon the front sight was lose…The 2-piece guide rod loosened up 2x…RZ shipped with no grip screws…
