Something Is Seriously Wrong With New Gun Quality... Owners Are Starting to Notice

📖 Get The Old Gun Hand, fifty years at the gunsmith's bench, written down: https://ivansjournal.com Colt made people wait about twenty years for the Python to come back. In January 2020 it finally did, stainless and beautiful. Within weeks, some of the first ones were going back to the factory. Colt said there was no recall, and that was technically true. But later guns got thread locker on the sideplate screws and more spring tension after light primer strikes. No recall. Just changes. Once you know that phrase, you see it everywhere. So nobody writes in about it, here is where I stand. For years I believed the easy answer. They don't make them like they used to. Molded parts, plastic frames, accountants running the factories. I said it at ranges, at gun shows, over coffee. Then I dug into what actually went wrong with specific guns, and that story fell apart. What I found instead was a pattern. The first production run of a new gun is more and more where the final testing happens, and the people doing that testing pay full retail for the privilege. Same name, same box, same price tag. A different gun inside, and nothing on the outside to tell you which one you got. What we go through: The 2018 Sig P365, the broken strikers in early serial numbers, and the redesign that quietly fixed it The P365 Fuse in 2024, and the same story six years later The 2020 buying surge, 21 million background checks, and 8.4 million first-time buyers Why a cooling market means more launches, and every launch starts the clock over What metal injection molding really is, and why MIM isn't the villain The Remington Model 700 X-Mark Pro trigger recall, over 1.3 million rifles, and the ones never sent back Taurus Millennium and PT pistols, the class action, and the free repair with no deadline The Sig P320, hundreds of reports, the lawsuits, the juries, and the Army review that went the other way Glock's V series, California's AB 1127, and what happens when a courtroom redesigns a gun Why one failure on camera feels like a trend My own rule set for buying any new or used gun, and none of it costs a dime Said plainly on safety: if you own a Model 700 or Model Seven from the recall years, or one of those Taurus pistols, check the serial number with the manufacturer and follow what they tell you. Never take a recalled trigger apart yourself. Carry any striker pistol in a quality holster that fully covers the trigger guard. Inspect unloaded, verify the chamber, and wear eyes and ears when you shoot. I've kept notes on every gun I've owned, round counts, failures, fixes, what I'd never buy again. Those notebooks became my book, at ivansjournal.com. The old guns weren't perfect. The new guns aren't junk. The difference is mostly timing, and timing is the one thing you control. Let a new model be out for a year. Buy the gun after the quiet changes, not before them. Tell me in the comments which gun you bought in its very first year. And tell me this: would you do it again? #GunQuality #SigP365 #SigP320 #ColtPython #Remington700 #GlockVSeries #GunRecall #Taurus #MIM #ConcealedCarry #NewGuns #GunReview #GunOwnership #Firearms #IvansJournal
