Buyer Demanded A Full Refund, A Story From Long Ago, But Still Interesting

Can you take down a Davis P-380? The procedure is the same as it is with a number of inexpensive zinc alloy autos. Push in on the takedown plug at the rear of the slide, then lift the slide off the frame.

I figured out how to take down the first such pistol I ever saw, so I didn't feel like it required a degree in rocket surgery to take one apart.

I know the Davis P-380 is a POS, but they generally work, with FMJ ammo, and I sold one to a Gunbroker buyer, several years ago. I'll never forget the transaction. NEVER.

I shipped the gun out. I heard back from the buyer that he was having trouble with it, and wanted to return it, so I told him to go ahead.

When I got it back, the problem he had with the gun was obvious. He wanted to take it down, but had no clue how to do so. He had taken a screwdriver or similar tool, and tried to PRY THE SLIDE OFF THE FRAME!!!

Of course, he broke the frame and the slide in the process.

Now, get this: He demanded a full refund, including shipping both ways. He was just a little disappointed I reckon. I figured all I had of the gun that was worth having was the magazine and the grips.

So, I refunded him the wholesale value of the magazine and grips.

I never heard from him again, and that's OK.
