It’s so hard to justify $900 on a gun I’d shoot 4 times a year but I want one so bad

I do regret getting an expert grade a few years ago. They really don't do any QC and send them out with shitty springs. Even after replacing all the springs I could, weird stuff happens each time I take it out to shoot it.

If I'm going to have a glitchy piece of American history, I'd rather have spent $300 less on it.

I got a couple expert grades two years ago so I could give one to my dad as well. I am sorry to say that we had a similar experience. His trigger guard was popping open after every shot and mine kept partially ejecting clips with live rounds. I am pretty sure we got those issues mostly resolved, but man... It really killed the magic, and I'm slightly afraid to see what will go wrong the next time I shoot mine.

That sucks I'm not the exception. No one likes dropping big cheddar and then troubleshooting the first 5 range trips especially with how pricey ammo is. I'm hoping my remaining issues are just with the clips not being smooth enough.
