I've had pretty good luck with guns, very few problems and hardly ever with a new gun. Sometimes it does pay to play with the troublesome ones at least a little bit. Case in point, over a year ago I bought a tupperware 1911. EAA Witness. Figured the light weight would be a plus. It's full size 5'' with a light rail. I took it out and shot it and just didn't feel right, cheap, lousy trigger and rough slide. I put it in the toy box and basically wrote it off.
Earlier this year I decided to revisit and see if I could make it better. Basically racked it a bunch, trigger was pretty lousy so I put a trigger I had laying around in it and made a world of difference. It was a short trigger I didn't much care for but it felt way better. I ordered a long trigger from Wilson, not expensive and dropped it in. Thing felt 100 percent better, very accurate and while I generally don't carry a full size to well, that lousy extra 1/2'' makes a difference this one carry's just fine. Must have found just the right cant or something in my Garrett Silent Thunder.
Long story not too short, I carry it everyday now, quite comfortably.
So sometimes a simple little bit of attention and tweaking can turn things around.
