Armscor payroll??? Heck, no!!
What made you conclude that? I've been posting HK USP pictures left and right, but no one even suggested that I'm from HK (but I hope i am
)
Let's be objective here, Mr. CastleBravo. Tell me, have you had experience with any of their products that would cause you to :barf:, and incite you to hellish
that might explain your obvious disdain for an Armscor.
Your experience in process certification is truly invaluable as you established your credibility in clarifying what those internationally accepted symbols really stand for.
But isn't it a fact, sir, that in any quality endeavor, the
documentation of how things are to be done - from raw material selection to the step-by-step manufacturing processes - is the first decisive step towards consistency of operation, repeatability of steps, scrutiny from third parties, and compliance to tolerances, that lead eventually to a quality product.
"ISO imposes NO objective quality requirements on a company to get ISO certified"
True. Which means to say that there should be some other quality stamp we must look out for to ensure that the minimum level of quality is expected. But what??? Is there any???
I've worked in a steel pressure vessel fabrication company for four years. I supervised the building and installation of industrial LPG tanks that comply to ASME standards. Guns, being pressure-activated devices, are no different, even simpler.
Do Colt, Kimber, SA display an ANSI, ASME, JICA or equivalent quality stamp to prove they really are up to par??? None??? Don't tell me a "third world" foundry beat them to it?
And while I'm at this, I'll return the favor: are you in the employ of any of these shops?
People don't walk inside a gunstore and look for the spectro-ultrasonic-radiographic certificate of the vital materials in a gun. I am quite sure that more than 90% of all gunowners simply walk inside their favorite gunstore, ogle at the piece that catches their eye, buy it, take it home and never even fire them. To those people, even pot metal guns would do. But to us active shooters, especially the technically-inclined, 'hearsay" advise that you've just forwarded simply won't do.
If it isn't much of a bother, please educate me. I feel you have more convincing evidence to divulge...
I'm more than willing to listen.
