Excuse me? A part on your gun broke so you now refuse to use that gun and you tell me to get back on my meds?
Your reason for not using a series 80 gun is just plain stupid. Guns are machines. Machines break. You should maintain them to minimize the breakages, but they will still happen occasionally.

It was a non-necessary part of a great gun that failed. The part was not an original part and has given several shooters problems, e.g. binding if the trigger bow was a few thousandths to long, and this was what happened to me and several others that reported the same thing. It seems not to happen to most but the failure even once to me in a life and death situation would not be joyous to my wife, kids, parents, and friends. Your response was why throw out the baby with the bath water. It wasn't the gun but, as noted above, a non-essential part. If you can't see that, then how else can I make it any planer?

I understand the whole "non-necessary" thing. Trust me, I live in the land of the drop-test. But disregarding all series 80 guns because yours broke is like saying you'll never buy Cor-Bon ammo because you had a misfire once or you'll never buy a Michelan tire because you had a flat tire once.
Your safety broke. Mine hasn't after 50,000 rounds in a gun I bought used. So which is more likely to occur?
