Hmmm...

I bought a new S&W 317 that shaved lead and keyholed targets. Sent it back to S&W expecting a "fix"... they gave me a new gun, no charge... a little 12 ounce 317 that dumps all 8 rounds into 1.5" @ 50 feet.

I bought a new Ruger SR9, my first ever 9mm. For the first 400 rounds I was willing to believe it was my inexperience with all things 9mm that was causing my FTF's. Sent it back to Ruger and they said "Nope, our fault." Got it back (8 days roundtrip with a weekend in the middle) with a complete new top assembly, no charge, and it's now failure-free for 2,000 handloads.

I thought I'd made purchasing mistakes, but reputable companies proved otherwise.
