Have you ever had a gun fail completely?

What's this nonsense about Rugers being "overbuilt"???

Bah, I can break a Ruger by looking at it, no need to shoot it.

My FTL Auto Nine blew the extractor on the second shot. The "standard velocity" ammo it needed was almost impossible to find. Most of the standard velocity ammo I tried wouldn't cycle the action completely, so it jammed all the time. What a dog. Idiot that bought it on consignment blew the extractor out with stingers.

The other one was a Colt Python that appeared to be in great shape, but the mainspring broke and it jammed up and had to have a gunsmith replace it, and he checked it out and said it had been shot "a hell of a lot", and it needed the hand, and something else replaced. It was ok after that, and I sold it for a lot more than I bought it for.
