I have no reason to doubt Mr. Kenyons comments, [quote] His second comment was considering that there could have been some rejects in the first two shipments before they were sent to the respective field units. <hr></blockquote>

But they make me wonder what possible reason could the U.S. Government have to reject anything that came off the DWM assembly line for that first shipment in that time period...

All of the DWM pistols I have ever seen from that time period with their original finish were superb mechanical engineering wonders that were hand fitted like anything of commercial quality... This statement really has be scratching my bald head... I guess I have a hard time understanding anything being allowed to get by the DWM quality control inspectors at DWM in a shipment that was intended to show their best side and quite possibly could result in sustained orders for tens of thousands of pistols...

Anyone care to comment on DWM's quality control during that period?
