Small parts are ok, but I prefer Wilson, Brown or EGW, depending on the particular part.
Frames & slides,......lots of machine marks that need to be cleaned up Assembled Fusion pistols,........sketchy quality control, poorly fitted grip safeties. Many better options for the money. |

Last I knew a lot of their parts were made by STI. Not necessarily a bad thing but I think there are better parts available.

My Fusion has been great, runs like a top. They make some parts in house and some parts are STI.

I bought a fusion a little while back as it was the only company that would do what I wanted for the price I wanted to pay. So far it's been great.

The project was a complete disaster that cost me a lot of money and time. The parts may be fine, but I cannot recommend letting them assemble them. |

Interesting, I've talked with the owner several times and never had a problem. Then again, I bought a bunch of their in house small parts and was just asking questions about the build I was doing. |

I'm glad that's all you did.
I would seriously stay away from Fusion for a whole pistol. |

I've bought parts from them on multiple occasions, and never had any issues.
