You have had some good CVA's as have many others, but the fact remains that overall, it is not a brand I could ever trust and when it comes to a firearm, trust is THE most important thing. I have to trust it isn't going to blow up in my damn face. I have to trust it is going to go bang. I have to trust that it will consistently deliver the bullet to my point of aim. If I don't trust it, and no one I know well trusts it, then it aint getting bought by me!
