Accidental discharge Arminius HW3 Revolver/ frame cracking

Post by captrakshitsharma » Thu Oct 08, 2009 4:45 pm

Hi,
I am interested in an Arminius revolver HW3 .Came across this thread in one of the posts about the Arminius HW3 revolver having Accidental discharge problems. I further followed a link to Michigan Police department where the same was confirmed and it further added the trigger safety block doesn't always work as it should. Safety being paramount this seems scary...
Also some people have mentioned it does not fire at xyz angles and that the frame being alloy is suseptible to cracking/ breaking . How true are these things? While the problem with the firearm not firing at some angle seems bogus .. unless the weapon has a problem inherent to its design or is damaged / not in good shape.
But the issue of frame cracking is disheartening. Is the frame susceptible to cracking from use/ firing or dropping.. needless to say any firearm should never be dropped.. but yes if so happens despite care and TLC we 'd all give to our firearms its should not break/ crack considering i'd be investing close to 2 lakhs on it...

We all know an empty license is a big itch ..So Experts Pls help and advice...
I dont dial 911... I dial .357

Read this thread all your doubts will be clarified....
All that stuff about dropping,alloy frame etc are pure BS...even a Beretta 81 FS that sells for close to 15 L has an alloy frame...so....it is a very sought after handgun by folks who can dish out that kind of moolah
HTH
