    I'm sad...

    I had to send my Smith and Wesson 1911PD back for a new plunger tube. This is the second time its been in. Granted the first time it went back it was mostly cosmetic, and I could have loc-tited the grip bushing back in myself, but I'm bummed its gone (I'm going to have to use an AR or a Shotgun for HD). Smith's warranty section has been fantastic to work with though.

    Yeah i didnt think guns designed to go to war and defend your life could break. Until i had a coupke that broke. And them you're out of the gun for weeks. I also have a SW that i sent back yesterday bc the frame broke in half! Yeah, i couldnt imagine that something like that was possible. hopefully s&w's customer service is as good as ive read on the interwebz.

          Eventually I plan to send in my Glock and Kimber for refinishing. That's gunna suck being without both for however long it takes. Lately I've been all about the handgun.

            We don't need no factory rework.....

            On a serious note...Smith and Wesson isn't what it used to be.

                Anything mechanically made will and can have problems. The expectation is that what you get should be 100% out the box is not always the case. Which is why you have returns and warranty. It seems they are taking care of you which is nice.

                Thinks happen...Look at Microsoft Windows products. Be happy we do not use it as weapons.

                  Yeah, check it out. And I REALLY liked this gun, too. I guess the material that the lower frame is made out of isn't exactly durable. Only 7 weeks old and 4200-ish rounds... And no, I wasn't using it as a hammer!

                    Wow! That's just nuts! I had a SW1911 that was fantastic in every way though. I should have kept it but I prefer a dark(blk)gun. SW does have great cs.

                        This is a perfect example of why you should always have more than one. Don't forget the saying "Two is one and one is none".
