Feel kinda like "Burt" in the Tremors movie when he ran out of ammo -"This has never happened to me before...". My little "fun money" savings account has over a thousand dollars in it and for the first time in 20 years not one handgun, rifle, or shotgun is really calling my name
S/W ticked me off earlier so they are off the list. Looked at some Springfield Armory guns, but visiting that section of the 1911 forum seems even their biggest fans are griping about current quality control. Thought about Beretta but on that forum a lot of the talk seems to be about the company cutting corners on the gun with polymer parts and bad customer service. Used to play with Glocks a lot, but thier recent escapades and the fact the newer finger groove models don't fit me well leave them out as well. Looked at Kimber but again most of what I heard was how good the old ones are compared to the new ones... Judging the risk of "buying somebody else's problem" with a used gun (especially a new style to me I would not know how to really check out), looks like my moneys just gonna sit for awhile.
Suppose the question would be, am I just hitting a dry spell personally? or is anybody else just getting the feeling that for what we're paying for these things we should be getting a little more quality control, dollar value, and customer service wise and closing up the wallet in response???
