The problem of a trigger bar that is prone to snapping could easily be due to "bad design." Part of the design process is understanding the forces that various assemblies and components will experience during normal use and then selecting proper materials and processes for their manufacture.mr.72 wrote:Snapping the trigger bar every couple of hundred rounds does indeed sound like a major problem and without an explanation that reveals a sensible defect in the particular pistol and assurance that it is properly fixed, I would be quite skeptical of the repaired gun. But overall if they can work out the design in that form-factor, I think the DB looks like a really solid contender.RPB wrote: I think any manufacturer may have a manufacturing problem or two in the beginning, but I'll stick with what I consider a superior design of my DB380
It is quite possible that the design engineers did not fully understand or properly address the stresses put on this part and did not design it to be robust enough. For such a seemingly "trivial" part I would guess that they really didn't pay much attention to it. Hopefully they will go back and look at this issue and find a quick solution before they have a major recall situation.
P.S. to RPB - Please don't even remind me about WordPerfect. It makes me want to cry.
