In my mind, I seem to have experienced an unusual amount of handgun breakage.
Without going into a complete inventory of all the firearms I own or owned, I've had more revolvers "break" than semi autos (and very early in their life, without a lot of use).
Here they are:
Ruger SP101-firing pin return spring broke (twice).
Ruger LCR-firing pin return spring broke (just once, but hey, it's only 2 weeks old).
S&W 686-sear spring broke (twice).
Charter Arms Undercover, broken transfer bar (I've lost count)
Ruger New Vaquero, .357/.38, broken transfer bar.
S&W 642, broken hammer stud on frame.
Semi autos:
SA Milspec-broken extractor, just once, after about 800 rounds.
Dan Wesson Bobtail, sear on hammer chipped, would not fall to half cock position (quite dangerous, and was sent off to factory ASAP).
Kel Tec PF9, slide release broke.
Tupperwear guns (other than the KelTec) never broke-Glock, Springfiled, M&P, Kahr, no problems.
What do you think? Average, below average, or am I cursed?
