In an earlier thread someone made the comment that you had to send your SA SD 45 ACP back to the manufacturer for repair.
I asked about it but never really got an answer. What I am wondering is (a) is this common with the manufacturers to do so and (b) is this something that in the future I should be concerned with when I get a gun (after I take my class). Not that I'm going to real soon be in a position to do anything fancy but I would think that if you needed to replace a simple part that wears out you should be able to do so easily. Or do most people here take their gun to a gunsmith or send it in when they need repairs done?by nitesite: But be warned, if something breaks you will be asked to send the pistol in to Springfield Armory for repair as they do not sell parts.
