So my slide is scratched because I reload too fast? Seriously? My M&P doesn't have that issue, the Glocks I owned didn't have that issue. Even my Ruger P95 didn't have that issue. http://www.geekpr0n.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/picard_wtf_RE_DONT_QUESTION-s300x266-71337.jpeg View Quote Yes. Seriously. WTF indeed! Reading between the lines and comparing that to the real world experiences described in other threads, we can conclude that the scratch is caused by an inherent flaw in the design that causes the magazine to grind against the underside of the slide. The really ridiculous part is that they thought that by informing the customer of said inherent flaw the complaint would be satisfied. How is my complaint satisfied by telling me it's not just my handgun but EVERY handgun of that make / model while at the same time not offering me any kind of solution?!?! I'm giving them a chance to correct that error. If they choose not to then I'll choose to never do business with them again. It's that simple. |

It's the same company that put 5.56 barrels on 5.45 guns and then blamed the ammo for bullets keyholing. Why am I not surprised?

Believe a few of the tantal ak74's had a 5.45 chamber, but the barrel was bored out to 223/556 |

lol what a B.S response.
Considering Mec-gar makes mags for tons of pistols and none of them have this issue besides this One model tp9sa, even the 2 older model's tp9 I've seen with same mags have no marks. The issues is Canik CNCing the slide with to close tolerances and obviously did not do enough testing. |

Holy Crap. How could they not come up with a better response than that. If they are just going to bullshit us, they could at least attempt to make it more believable. For my buddies gun that was pretty bad after 350 rounds that would only be about 20 reloads if the mags are full. Lets just say that all the mags were not full and it was 30 mag changes. Or hell even 40 mag changes. That is a good bit of damage for it to only happen those 40 times. Not to mention that in his case the shooting was done at a indoor range with no quick reloads.
Such bullshit! Thanks for posting! Phil |

Why would you hold them accountable? They are a middleman. Because Century gave a obviously BS response and are the ones responsible for handling warranty issues with pistol. Beyond doubt this is a simple cnc tolerance issue with slide, as none of the other pistols Mec-gar makes mags for have any issues, and from the 2 earlier model TP9's that use same mag (i've seen with decent round count) they do not have any marks either. |

I have a like new gen 4 glock 26 I would trade for a "scratched" tp9sa + cash if anyone is THAT upset. :-)

The customer should never be exposed to the leg work required to facilitate a solution of a faulty product with a manufacturer. That is a large part of why you PAY the middle-man. |

so let's say you buy a Ruger rifle at Cabelas. After shooting, you find the bolt has an issue, you are gonna go to Cabelas and complain rather than call Ruger? That is dumb. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I should have used the original TP9 as my example with the Mec-Gar magazine argument instead of the newer model TP9-SA in tan. Perhaps I should just link them to this forum if they don't get back with an appropriate response? We'll see what happens. <- Where have I seen that quote before? |

You never cease to amaze me. This is retail 101. When you buy a product at, let's say, Wal-Mart and it's defective...Do you: A) Return it to Wal-Mart with the expectation of getting a return, refund or exchange. B) Dial up China and figure out what sweat-shop it came out of so you can ask for a solution. Do you think Wal-Mart imports most of it's products or makes them in-house? |

It's not Century Arm's fault that Canik made a design error but it is their PROBLEM! They import the product, they market the product, they guarantee the warranty on the product and they put their company's NAME on the product (permanently etching it on the slide). All you do is follow TP9-SA related threads so you can derail the conversation by spewing negative and erroneous bullshit. Your personal opinion about how MOST PEOPLE expect to do business is irrelevant to this thread. You don't own or are even interested in owning a TP9-SA therefor you have no place in this conversation. I'm reporting you to the mods because I'm done dealing with you. You're a troll with nothing intelligent to add. You hate the TP9-SA and people who own it. We get it. Move along. EDIT: Had to take out a personal insult that has no place in this thread. I had a temporary lapse in judgement due to anger. I rarely find the need to remind myself to never feed the trolls. 13ers gonna' 13. My apologies. |

I wouldn't consider selling the handgun either. I really enjoy it. I did the "Decocker Disabler" mod and would have ZERO issue with this handgun making it's way into my EDC. My intention with the thread is to inform those who would rightfully take issue with the way Century Arms is handling this issue. While not a justification to sell the handgun, it would have been nice to know BEFORE I made the purchase. Good customer service in the firearms industry is a hard thing to come by these days. |

I was thinking of disabling the decocker. But I'm trying to think about using a different material. I seen cut down nails were used. I was wondering if Brass/Aluminum Rods might be a better alternative. I'm hardly worried about it though. I'm actually waiting on the SF series to get imported. Part of me wants to do a grip chop on one of the frames once I find a compatible, shorter magazine. |
