wowser ! This one, and two more doa .........High dollar pistols...... OH MY !! I am beginning to see why the 41 has been discontinued.

I have four other other Model 41 , one is a PC as well. This is number five. It is assembled as it should be, one side is worse than the other. The slide locks back. A straight edge on the frame shows the warped slide.

Purchased on line, new, new guns being defective are the problem of the manufacturer. Buyers are warned up front defects in new guns are warranty issues, not the sellers problem. The pistol is correctly assembled. The frame is warped, no impact marks. This is on Smith and Wesson. I am sure...

I just picked up my new 41 performance center today. I got it home, and was getting ready to clean it up, and noticed it did not appear to be as it should. The front of the frame has a noticeable warb downward , about an eighth of an inch. It looks like this: . I think it will be replaced...

Some internet sellers won’t allow a send back for any reason. Any issue is between the customer and the manufacturer. It’s hard for me to get used to the thin black finish of some pistols. The stainless and blued pistols I have have spoiled me. The thin anodized finishes are not very durable...

Already boxed up, ready to ship. It’s already boxed and ready to ship. It was still oily when I picked it up. I did ask them to fix it or sell me a slide. I tried to buy a slide for a Model 41 once upon a time. I could not buy one.

Yes, in brighter light I did look, but oily metal under not so bright fluorescent lights just looked like oily black metal. I also expected a new gun to be in new condition. I should have taken it out to sunlight and looked. But, again, I never thought the pistol really needed looked at...

I had my gun store order an M &P .22 compact. I fill out the paperwork and take it home. I pull it out of that fancy cardboard box, and as I look at it, i see on the top left of the slide, abrasions and small scrapes, some through to the shiny metal. After talking to the repair guru, they send...

Thanks !! I thank you !! There should be no reason to have to remove a 4 dollar and change part in the future, anyway. I can get it reasonably snug, the red will lock it down. I just needed re- assurance.

Pictures and a fix ? I hope this will get it tight enough, if i use red loctite ... Opinions ?

I realize this is a double thread, but here goes. I purchased a threaded barrel for my SW22. I also had to purchase the barrel lug. I do not have a wrench to tighten this thing up into the barrel. It appears to take a small spanner. Any suggestions ? I know I should use some locktite. Since...

You ain't slow I am the slow one here. I purchased a new barrel , threaded , from Mdwest Gun Works for my SW22. I got the barrel, and the barrel lug. I don't know what kind of tool to use to tighten up the lug into the bottom of the barrel. It looks lit it could take a spanner of some...

I bought a threaded barrel, for the SW22 and the barrel lug. I don’t know what kind of tool to use to tighten the barrel lug. What do you folks recommend ? I also think you folks recommend loctite. I would hate to get in a jam where the barrel lug came loose while trying to remove the...

Speed loaders like Rabbits ? Hey, have you got some speedloaders ? Lol!

While I like fiber optic sights on some of my handguns, I don’t really want to change them on my 617 revolvers. I tried some paint, but I must have gotten the wrong kind. It rubbed right off…..what is a good paint that will stay on ? I’m thinking a reddish orange would be good. Is there a...
