The Quinns are good men and I believe their work is honest.
One fact that folks cannot seem to come to grips with is that gunwriters as a rule don't do articles on defective guns. Period. If a gun is sent to a gunwriter and he finds that it doesn't work, he sends it back. The manufacturer may or may not decide to replace it with one that does. This is not a secret. This is not grounds for hanging. Their mission is to do an honest review of what would be considered a typical sample firearm. So it is stupid to think that if a writer receives a defective firearm that he should go ahead and do a review on it. This is one of many fabricated reasons to hate gunwriters.
This is another. I would love to know where you get your facts because from what I know, gunwriters are required to pay for mechandise they keep and return what they don't. Simple. Yours is a prime example of misguided hatred stemming from what is probably pure jealousy.
Another fact folks like to ignore is that shooters, as a whole, do not like objective reviews. If a writer did an article on a gun that did not work, those pissing and moaning about it would VASTLY outnumber the sourpusses who think they're pandering.
Yes because we all know that nothing untrue ever gets reported on the internet by anonymous strangers with no accountability.
