NO ITS NOT an isolated incident i had 3 TRADITIONS ..the lt has an alloy frame and i also had to slam it shut ,after a while the hinge pins were loose ..the firepin would hit off center on the 209 primer ..the pro is better made it has a steel frame but the trigger pull i horrible ..to make a long story short i sold all 3 and got my T/C ENCORE ..no more CHEAP rifles for me
