How long ago did you purchase the guns???? My S&W, & Ruger's worked flawlessly, out of the box... But I purchased some years ago... two of my smiths were purchased used... My 2 Ruger 10/22 were 40th Anniv.. edition purchased new...I read the article, and, as I am sure many of us did, lusted over some designs. But what struck me was the number of various failures. All but one had some failure. They kind of Poo-Pooed it, as things needing a break in period, but I still was surprised at the failure rate within the first couple hundred rounds. I have purchased only two pistols so far,and both ran flawlessly from the Git-Go. Am I just lucky?Perhaps expecting too much from the technology that produces our handguns?
