So it sounds like one of the issues (maybe THE issue) with quality control relates to the amount of work needed to build a revolver. These are firearms build and designed around 100 year old manufacturing practices when every gun was hand-fitted and built one at a time by skilled craftsmen.
No doubt Ruger could build a world-class GP100 where each piece is carefully inspected and fitted with care and precision. But we'd end up with a firearm that costs probably at least twice what they do now. Not many people would spend $1200- $1400 for a wheelgun--or any firearm for that matter.
Still, there should be no reason for many of the QC issues we've all seen from many of these conpanies. But I have to wonder about the increased costs. Would consumers be happy with increased prices that would likely come from the additional QC checks?
There should be some middle ground. I'm just not sure where it is....
