    Here's something sad for you.... I like what I do and I actually care, but I'm getting burnt out doing what I do because 75% of the time I am fixing the work of other people who don't care. It's turning me off from doing the work because I am just fed up wth it.

    I used to deal with that while working for the airlines as a sheet metal mechanic. We had a lot of corrosion work in the cargo holds of DC 10s and I was always meticulous on returning the section I was replacing to like new condition. It took a bit longer, but I was done faster than the lazy pukes who spent half the night out behind the hangar smoking. One night, years later one of the early aircraft I had worked on came back in for it's next overhaul and all of the work I had done was still looking like new where as most of the crap work done around it had to be cut out and replaced again. I could not believe guys would sign their names to some of the crap work they did.

    You know I will make you a deal on it.

    I've been drooling over that one myself. After looking at the DW Heritage earlier this month, I realized that your Springer is exactly what I was wanting the gun to be, but for 2/3 the cost. Unfortunately, money for that gun will be an issue until next month, so it's a no go for me right now.

    Take your original email to them that they didn't reply to and forward it to them with this and a note that because of some questionable practices and lack of customer service (or just basic courtesy enough to respond to email), you have sold all PSA stuff and they have burned a bridge with at least a few customers.

    You don't have to use the pun, and I'm sure they don't really care, but just in case somebody that does care sees it, they can't learn if they don't know there is an issue.

    That's not a bad idea. I have since cleaned out the mailbox, but did capture screen shots of the long email I sent to them. I can send those.

    Email sent. Thanks canter. I hadn't thought about the fact that there may be someone there that sees it and actually cares.

    Probably wouldn't be impossible to find some type of higher up that is in it for more than just a 9-5 and actually has some type of power there. I might look around.

    After work tonight, I did a quick trip out to MCFG with my son. He has not run his Sig P320 in a while and wanted a bit of practice. I brought along my G23 and my CZ 75B SP01c/40. I have been carrying the G**** since the last range trip where the CZ ticked me off enough to put it up, so needed a bit of trigger time to make sure that I was still on point with point shooting. That part went as planned and the G_thing shot well. I put a stronger recoil spring in the CZ and wanted to run a few rounds through it to see if it made a difference and I am happy to report that for the first time since getting it, it ran beautifully. This is what I was hoping to experience with this gun when I bought it. I think the current recoil spring is still on the light side, and this test was only a 25 round run, but it's the first clean 25 rounds I put through the pistol. It was interesting running it next to the G23. The G23 has been one of my favorites for years, but the new one is a definite step up in terms of feel. Trigger feel, feel of the grip and feel of the recoil.

    We'll need a couple of hundred more rounds through it before I'd call it good, but I'm really happy that the issue seems to be coming to an end. On a separate note, I put a good 20 or so rounds though my son's P320 full size .45 and while I am not a fan of the gun when I dry fire, I really like the thing when shooting it. The same can be said for the G guns too. Under dry fire, they feel like crap, but that disappears with the recoil impulse. I'm in no danger of swapping any of the 1911s out for a P320, but it is nice to know that the things work pretty well.

    I'm not sure I actually care that much. I'm over the whole deal. Just is what it is. Nothing really I can do about it. It sucks, but I will just move on.
