Mike is right! A hat, or Sash or shirt, if made of inferior products, is not going to maim or kill you. A poorly made Gun can and will!
I don't mind scrimping on clothing- " That Looks Nice". I think its just foolish to spend good money for a gun that really does NOT " LOOK RIGHT"- unless you have been watching Hollywood movies, and cartoons-- and don't know any better. More importantly, its not SAFE to shoot.
You seem to think the gun you have is " Good Enough" and take the risk of shooting it. That is your decision. I only hope you don't live to regret the choice, and others around you suffer from your decision if it blows during an " event".
You originally asked people's opinions about the Indian Made guns, and they have honestly given you their personal assessments. We tend, as a group, to be a bit more safety conscious here, than what I also experience when I am with other MLers- be they re-enactors, or just people who like to shoot smokepoles.
Please forgive us our prejudice in favor of safer firearms, and those made in America. We know our bias, and we don't lose a lot of sleep over it either. Many of us think those Indian-made guns make nice wall-hangers, and belong in those interior decoration catalogs, rather than in the hands of shooters.
I think you got your answer some time ago. This thread is about " worn out". NO?
