You buy a beautiful new gun and fork out a small fortune for it. Then you take it to the range and find that you have jamming problems...malfunctions...whatever you want to call them.
What do you do?
Guns aren't like most other products. In many cases you've filled out state forms and, of course, the federal forms. You've waited seven days and everyone has your serial number. It's too late and too much of a hassle to simply exchange it for a new one. Or is it?
You're entitled to a product that works. You've waited the ridiculous amount of time and now the guy behind the counter is telling you to send it back to Taurus, or Kimber, or Colt and let them fix it under warranty. He gives you a routine speech about low overhead, the cost of renting the property, etc., and that sometimes these things just happen.
What do you do? You look at your sawed-off Colt pistol with the case still lodged in the ejection port so you could show it to the proprietor and wonder how long the turn-around time is for repairing your new gun.
Any horror stories? Revolvers or autos, I'd like to know.
Also, have you ever bought a gun in a private sale that didn't work? How did you handle that one? The guy's got your money and you have a gun that doesn't work. What to do?
Thanks!
