This may be getting a little far off topic, but I think it applies especially to Ruger's newer offerings, among others. It seems like many of the manufacturers are rushing products out when they're 90%trying "there". They ship hand picked samples to the gun writers who give the guns glowing reviews. Then the customers get to deal with the faulty products. Manufacturers rely on the fact that most of those guns will get stuffed into a drawer or safe and never see 100 rounds. They'd rather fix the ones that make it back to them than make sure it works to begin with.

The gun writers are what disurbs me the most. They know full well that the latest isn't the greatest yet plug it dutifully. That's all well and good for a hunting rifle or duck gun. That's downright wrong for firearms destined for home protection, concealed carry, or duty use.

Really sad how much the gun rags are "in the bag" for the manufacturers. It seems like they either get specially prepped guns, rather than off the line, or they brush off any failures. I read one test where they tested 3 each of five models of. 380's. All 5 models had issues. But the summary was that they would make good carry guns and were acceptably reliable. Uh, yeah.

I shot a buddies new lc9 yesterday. He was having light primer strikes the first time he shot it. No problems yesterday though. Glad I got to shoot it. I had been thinking of getting one. It wasn't horrible, but the long trigger and trigger reset bothered me enough that i'll be sticking with my glock 26.
