70/80
Well...This one's about to drift too far, guys. It was intended to call attention to a potential problem with the blanks, not start a rumble over
the advantages and disadvantages of the Series 80 pistols. I think they're
well-made and the system rarely gives problems...and it's pretty easy to correct when it does. I trust it miles farther than the Swartz system, at any rate.
I can own and carry pretty much anything I want as well. I've even been know to carry a very nice Union Switch & Signal on occasion...and probably will again. (With apologies to Johnny Peppers.) I just choose not to carry Series 80 OR Swartz-equipped pistols. Have carried'em,(Series 80s) but I just don't any more...and it's not because one of mine ever failed to function. A personal matter, understand. Murphy loves gadgets. Ol' Murphy and me...well...we just don't gee-haw, so I try to keep things simple. With my luck, the only time that it would ever malfunction would be when I was up to my Keister in Komodos. For me...and others...it's just one less thing to go wrong.
Anyway...Raja! have you ever seen the flanging on the frame spacers that I've described? Several people report no problems. Several others have reported the same thing that I've noticed. It seems to occur at the rate of about one in five guns, and I haven't really jumped into figuring out why...yet.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
