I would like to get perspective from others regarding the reputation of the original Silver Reserves. They do suffer from a negative reputation, although the only issues I recall are breaking firing pins and complaints about the engraving.
I've had mine since January of 2006 and have never had a problem. I use it only for trap and occasional sporting clays.
I'm wondering if the problems were not across the board, but could have been specific to individual guns. I know that there was a "fix" put in to deal with the firing pin issue and mine is pre-fix ... but I've never had a problem. After all the time I've had the gun and all the rounds I've put through it, I really don't expect a problem.
I'm curious about the perspective of others regarding this gun and its "problems", especially since mine has been problem free. Part of this is because I've decided to sell it. I had one person who offered to buy it but quickly switched when he found out that it wasn't a II. It seems that reputation precedes performance.
Bad rap?
