Brand name pistol's quality is an interesting topic. Sure, being a brand name implies high quality. But we occasionally see "factory errors" on brand name pistols. Is that real?

Back in 1935, Falkenhausen (a German general serving Chiang Kai-Shek) reported back to Germany that Chinese randomly inspected 20 brand new Mauser pistols from a crate just opened, and found six of them were NOT perfect. Brand name has a burden -- the issues found might not be very serious but buyer's expectation is high. But 6 out of 20, that's 30%, the rate was not low. Unfortunately, detail of what being imperfect was not recorded in his report.
