went to a gunstore today, found a semi auto i wanted to look at for a weight comparison. the genius working the counter got unhappy looking wheni asked for it. it was handed over and i checked it out. somewhat strong spring but thats good.
however the slide stop refused to release the slide. took two thumbs and a finger to get it to release. had to push it in and rotate it downwards. the counter guy just kept that lok on his face of "why". i locked the slide back again and tried to release the slide. however 3 minutes of work produced no effort. the counter genious simly said in a super low voice "pop the mag out", instantly went forward with pressure from 2 thumbs.
turns out i had asked for one of the display guns that they knew had issues. interestingly enough the genius behind the counter had minutes before told me to avoid that companies products and to stick with 3 others.
so how often do you find a gunstore purposely keeping a damaged firearm in the display case to ucker people into buying the more costly stuff?
