If being honest is the same as being an "asshat", then I proudly wear the moniker.

You brought this on.
No one said you had to stay.
If you don't want an honest opinion, then don't ask or make comments.

Gender had nothing to do with my response.

Nor did it have anything to do with other responses.

Yes. It's called Pistolsmith...not Pistolwhine. The usual procedure is to ask a question, such as:

"I'm having a problem with my XX 1911, and would like to get an idea as to whether it's something that I can address or if I need to pack it up and send it in for warranty work."

"My gun is jamming. What's wrong?" doesn't tell us anything. It's like calling a doctor and asking him why your head hurts.

To simply walk in and tell us that you're not happy with your pistol...cite similar problems "all over the internet"...without giving anybody the opportunity to advise you is generally seen as trolling and won't get you any helpful responses.

For future reference:

Describe the problem in as much detail as you can. Most of the time, the cause of these problems is simple, and the cure is often just as simple. i.e. 90% of all feed-related problems can be traced to the magazine. 90% of all failure to return to battery problems are caused by the extractor. Likewise 90% of all extraction/ejection problems.

Pictures are also helpful. If you bought the gun used, we don't know if it's been butchered up by some moron who thinks that because he's managed to get it apart and back together, that he's a gunsmith.
If that's the case...and it very often is...it's not Springfield's fault, and your rant becomes slander. It's also not Springfield's responsibility to repair it pro bono, so if Manny the Moron or Dremel Dan has had his hands in your gun, you're not gonna be happy with Springfield's response.

But to start off by implying that because you're unhappy with your Springfield we should all feel the same way is...a little over the top.

Have a nice day.

Well...I guess she took her ball and went home, so there!

Not very Gentlemanly of you - you never offered her any Pistolcheese to go with her Pistolwhine.
