Hi,
I worked a shop for eight years and it seems to be whose got it and who actually has it in their hands working on it. I've dealt with Colt and Interarms and had the same experiences. I've dealt some with Ruger on a very limited basis, the guys who gave me the best service was Savage. I've found the bigger they get, the smaller YOU become. Two to six monthes was the norm, occasionally eight. Basically they all hate to replace a gun, it eats the profit margin. My bro-in-law bought a Beretta 96 .40, it just wouldn't run right, I replaced the recoil spring, we tried all sorts of ammo etc, by now I knew it was not a simple fix and did a very nice ramp job on it, Ber. have a small ramp at the edge of the mag well where it meets the barrel ramp. Here was the culprit, sharp, rough, not cut deep enough nor properly shaped. Now it feeds anything... my point being all of these guns are 'test fired' not really run. Running is where the problems arise and they hate to think it's their problem.
