While I agree that things of old were built with a much higher level of tender loving care than things built today, I feel that this statement is WAY over the top and does nothing productive to encourage new shooters to go out and purchase new guns and expand the shooting sports and firearms collecting hobby that we all enjoy. You do realize that Jerry Miculek shoots tens of thousands of rounds per year through his new production S&W revolvers don't you? The new guns are built to last and will last a lifetime with moderate care. Parts broke on the old guns just like they break on the new ones. I have old guns with good triggers and I have old ones with not so good triggers. The same goes for the new ones. I buddy of mine just bought an old Model 28 and I just bought a new 627. I honestly can't say that one trigger is any better than the other.
