I'm sorry that you feel so put upon. That the plunger spring came out of the tube wouldn't cause the slide stop to remove itself from the gun. You claim to be a machinist, and have made claims based upon that expertise, in the thread that you mention this debacle. Spotty qualities for a machinist, sir. If a firearm like a pattern 1911 is too complex to troubleshoot, just say so, but don't regale us with "I'm a machinist" as a reason to gain some credibility.
Remarkable thought process here. In your mind, starting in on a new thread disqualifies everything that you've posted in a similar thread. Why? Wasn't it the truth?
Gunsmith's are human. I know of several who have pet peeves about brands such as Remington, Ithaca, and HK. Much has to do with the availability of support from the factories, and parts. It may also have to do with the fact that the gunsmith hasn't worked on that particular weapon, but isn't about to mention that.
As far as my "starting debates", you're making such statements in a lot more threads than I have. The fact that I would ask these questions seems to be a personal challenge to your accumulated wisdom. You've had bad luck with 50% of your experiences, and only one of them actually involved anything mechanical. To blame an entire line of firearms for two examples is pretty simplistic.
I'm willing to stop here, if you are.
My experience, and that of the majority of posters in threads here has been that the guns are safe, and many have reported reliable. It doesn't sound likke their any worse than Kimber, or Dan Wesson.
All I’m seeing here JR, is you and swampwolf making fools of yourselves which is really none of my business, but again I’m curious as to what you think my possible motive would be for lying about my experience W. llamas. Perhaps I think they’re stellar performers and I want to keep the price down?
I mean, something must have happened to get me from “Llamas are my favorite pistols” (which they were until my “suspicious anecdote”) to “ I wouldn’t own one at any price.” But let’s assume for the sake of argument that I’m just making it up as I go along how do you account for all the other people out there (like the gunsmith on Juanita street) who wouldn’t touch a Llama w/ a 10 foot pole? Are they all lying too?
