That story was never the actual story... The original CVA company, not the current BPI/CVA, did have a problem with the breech plug in the barrel blowing out of the barrel - but that was in a very limited amount of guns - and a recall for those guns was issued, unfortunately it did lead to the demise of the original company.
The modern BPI/CVA guns have not had any greater problems than most any other compainies. But, because the CVA product is basically made in a foreign country a lot of people choose to relate that a poorer quality gun.
If you choose to purchase a $200 gun and you follow the directions provided to you - you should expect the gun to perform, in general, fairly well.
