Rich,
Your skills are not in question- if you wanted to- these small tweeks would be a piece of cake.

But for sure you are correct about 90%+ of most buyers not being able or inclined to have to fix a $5000 pistol.

GT and I have commiserated about his pistol quirks, my #20 did not suffer as badly, but the hold open spring did have to be replaced.
Eugene was and is aware of that part of the problem, and was supposed to address the faulty heat treatment of the springs months ago.

Sadly, Eugene-Lugerman- is his own worst enemy. JMHO.

HiYa G.T.,

Twas good to hear that you got a little range time with the 45. Even with the quirks you mentioned...............what a time huh? I know that I would have never thought the layman would ever get to experience such in these times.

I do not know the builder either, but suspect he has some time in grade with firearms. QA is always an important part of production, even though as a MTS, I did not always think so.

Sounds like the little things were worked out. Kinda a one of pistol I think, not to give the maker a lot of slack. 5000-9000 is a lot even today.

I remember the new automags coming out. Did they always run........well, no. Can they be made to run......yeah, I think so by the layman. I have several that I shoot often.

So one sometimes has to take what is on the table. At least you worked with it when it jammed the first time.........most would have swelled up and demanded their money back etc etc. You have a good trait I think.
