Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ruger SR9 models are problematic?

Early production Ruger SR9 models are problematic due to a safety recall concerning the trigger system. These early guns could fire under specific impact conditions. Ruger offered a factory upgrade to a pivoting trigger design and updated internal safeties.

Why are some Kel-Tec Sub2000 firearms considered less valuable?

Certain Kel-Tec Sub2000 production runs were tied to a factory barrel safety recall. Any rifle that has not been confirmed and fixed through Kel-Tec's free barrel replacement program is considered a gamble and has reduced resale demand.

What makes the Kel-Tec PMR30 unreliable?

The Kel-Tec PMR30's reliability hinges on ammunition choice. It requires full-power 40-grain .22 WMR loads like CCI Maxi-Mag. Lightweight or inconsistent rimfire loads can cause amplified classic rimfire problems such as ignition issues and failures to extract.

What safety issues affected Taurus PT series pistols?

Taurus PT series pistols were subject to a class-action lawsuit alleging they could fire if dropped. Taurus offered a voluntary remedy program covering repair, replacement, and enhanced warranties for affected models.

How can I identify a pre-upgrade SIG Sauer P320?

Pre-upgrade SIG Sauer P320s lack a lighter, skeletonized trigger, revised sear and striker parts, and a mechanical disconnector. Visually, the upgraded trigger is noticeably lightened. Checking the serial number with SIG Sauer is the most reliable method.
