Default Even the finest gun can have problems.

Wilson CQB. 3.5 years old, 2500 rounds down range. Winchester US made ammo only. This is a duty weapon.

The barrel was made with cracks. three still remain. The hood of the barrel let loose before the case did. Pressure takes the path of least resistance. Frame is warped, slide is budge.

Now I get to see is Wilson replaces a $2,600.00 gun.

Disclamier: Beano's wife was not driving in the area.

Damn that sucks. Hopefully they step up and fix it for free.

I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

It vented up and back, sore left thumb from shock wave. Grid search 75 yards, 360 degrees, no parts found.

Bullet did hit the X ring. Was on the range and not on duty. (You know who)
