Sounds like all those cheap-ass Ruger Redhawks that had barrels flying off of them.... at least they only cost about a grand.... One 82, vs at least 10 or 15 Rugers that I've read about.... yep... Taurus sucks.

I was going to reply, but I remembered...
"Never argue with a fool.... they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"..... sigh....
Because of their "accidental" involvement in gun control in IL a few years back they can always **** right off.When the hell did you come back??
I personally have a vendetta against Springfield Armory. I’ve owned two of their 1911’s and an SA35 and they have all had to go back to the factory, in all cases multiple times.
First Imbel made Springfield GI 1911 I bought used wouldn’t function for shit. Springfield took it in and had it back to me within 3 days, and reamed the chamber. Still couldn’t function for shit
Second Springfield 1911 was a 2014~ made Loaded model, when they first started manufacturing 1911’s in the USA rather than importing from Imbel. It couldn’t run 100 rounds without a few malfunctions, and after about 360 rounds in one session the trigger seized on me. Something was fucked up in the ignition parts.
They fixed the firing control issues but when it came back it was still having issues running reliably. I sent it back to them and then sold it without test firing again to verify that they fixed it, but knowing them, they probably didn’t
Third gun was my SA35. It was the 6,620th SA35 they’d produced, and they should have fixed the issues they were having from day 1 of its release by then, right? Nope. It had every issue that Garand Thumb had with his pre-release SA35 that he released a video on the first day the gun was available for sale. It had the same crooked hammer, and started to have multiple FTE’s per mag after I put 600 rounds through the gun.
I hear that they fixed the SA35 by the 15,000 serial range, but I have my doubts, knowing Springfield. I’ve still heard of others online having issues with recent production ones.
Then soon after they fucked up the release of the prodigy 2011 they made. They don’t learn from their mistakes. I’ll never buy another Springfield Armory gun again, unless it’s the Professional 1911 made by Springfield Armory Custom Shop.
I’d be stupid to give their production line guns a 4th chance at this point.
Damn lol.
The SA rifles and pistols I have were prior to the 'accidental' involvement in IL a few years ago.
I haven't purchased their products since that time, as Dan Wesson had several pistols I liked.
Makes some sense, someone besides the buzzards gonna have to clean up the mess.

Allegedly
Lived in Illinois at the time of the SA/Rock River debacle. I chose to no longer give SA or RRA $$$ directly. Silver lining for SA/RRA now is that they don't have to worry about what Illinoisans think of them because Illinoisans can no longer buy most of their products anyway...unless SCOTUS gets involved.
Proves my point....
Look..... I don't want to turn this into a battle of wits, because frankly, you're unarmed....
I don't have to justify any of my gun purchases to anyone.... well, except a certain little blonde that's been putting up with me for over 40 years....
You do you, and denigrate anything else you know nothing about, and I'll do me, and go with what works for me.
