[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3586290, member: 24452"] Here’s my bad decision gunsmith story. For my 1911’s, I use a gunsmith in Ohio, and he does great work but is slow. I wanted a front sight changed out on my Baer Thunder Ranch but didn’t really want to pay shipping and wait for something so “simple”, so I took it to a local shop with a “gunsmith”. The guy says “no problem, I can put sights on a 1911” and takes my gun in the back. I start hearing banging like with a hammer and punch then an “OOPS”. THE GUY PERMANENTLY DENTED THE SLIDE ON MY GUN WITH A PUNCH. He was apologetic, but what was done was done. I took my gun and left, and I ended up sending it to my buddy in OH. The moral to the story as adamsredlines can attest is to research and vet your “gunsmiths” carefully, because they’re not all created equal.:censored: [/QUOTE]
