Has a gun that you've bought new ever broke?

A Beretta Tomcat after about 17 rounds, what a lousy pistol that is.

Other than that I've never had a catastrophic failure.

My first hand-gun was a Taurus Millenium Pro pt-140. The first time I fired it, the magazine came lose. I took it back downstairs to the show room and the salesman said it was because my hand was on the mag realease. So I let the range officer fire it and the same thing happened.

My Smith and Wesson M&P15A had the buffer spring detent just "disappear" at the range on day. Still waiting on S&W to send it back. Been about 4 weeks.

I bought a Rossi 357 Magnum. The first time I fired it the cylinder fell out and rolled down range.

Well I don't really know if I broke the gun or not but I couldn't shoot it, thats for sure. I bought a FiveseveN Herstal pistol back in Mar 08' and after my second trip from the range, I had field striped my pistol for cleaning, reassembled it, cycled the slide back & forth a few times, and after about the fourth time of working the slide it locked up in the closed position. I could not move the slide more than 1/8 on an inch. I call FN and talked with Bob, he told be to send it back (on their dollar) they sent a UPS pickup tag and all I had to do was pack it up tight. I must say Bob & FN have great customer service as I had my pistol back in less than 2 weeks. I only wish I was told what went wrong, as I can only assume that I made a mistake when reassembling the gun. LM

Taurus Model 605, all Titanium, .357MAG Snub (16oz). First three rounds and I noticed it was off time. Took it back to Dealer and he sent it back to Taurus. 29 days later it was back with a new cylinder, adjusted barrel and yoak. This took place about two months ago. Revolver is perfect now and I'm happy. It is still my main Carry & Conceal weapon.

Para P14 LDA

35 guys did a group buy on Para's LDA. 12 of them sent back for (SFF)snap fire failures.Let just say guns wont go bang! when you need it too.3 other guns fired 2 to 3 round and vitually fell apart or jammed where I think a hammer would be the only way to return the slide.All guns were sent back to Para.What Para has returned so far are doing the same exact snap fire failure.All I can say is What Junk!Im close to 1k and all I got is a chunk of metal that I can pound nails with... I should have bought a Kimber...

I'll duck and weave as I type this, but did anyone else notice Glocks were almost never cited here? Hmmmmm.

 

[jocko]

kel-tecs broke 17 times...

 

[jocko]

Old Navy: I would have expected no less from the glocks either, especially the G17 and 19.

Kel-Tec P11 Stainless. At less than 400 rounds, S&B 115 gr. fmj, cracked slide. A 1 cm crack along the left top of the slide, from the breach forward. Scary! Great response from Kel-Tec, less than one week turn-around, but I traded it back to the shop I bought it from, "unfired after the repair". They had sent it back to Kel-Tec for me so they new what they were getting.
