That someone is eager to buy it off of you, albeit at a loss, might tell you that this Pistol still has some potential good, regardless of some potential problems.
You might call EAA and see what they have to say about it. Repairs are free to the original owner. Your FFL may be able to ship it free.
Mine has been flawless since day one and I am sorry to hear that yours is not quite up to good standards.
JWC,
Thank you and I apologize for the appearance of a sale post but it was clear to me that ztac wasn't making a serious offer but making a crude attempt at insult insinuating that if I was moron enough to disparage his newest favorite gun then I must be moron enough to jump on his bargain basement 'offer'. Why I would do that on a brand new gun that was defective out of the box is clear only to him. The gun is on it's way back and whether I get a replacement remains to be seen. I did take at least some of bugboi's advice in that I bought a Barak from Cole's. I've never been a fan of plasti-guns but have wanted to add one of the Barak's to my Israeli collection. I have full confidence that the gun is safe, reliable, accurate, the sights are centered, and that the slide will lock back at the proper time.
As for returning the K2 to EAA, that isn't an option. If you've ever played gun tag with EAA service I think you'll understand why. Getting them to pay return shipping is a near impossibility and since my FFL's don't get free shipping the first return ups the price of the gun by ~$30.00. My experience has been that with multiple problems the chances of them correcting even one are at best 50/50. As it is, I don't have any blood in this gun and I've got .45's I haven't shot anyway. The way I see it, a gun that has that many problems right out of the box just doesn't bode well for the long term. If QC missed the sights, failure to lock back, gap in the back, etc., then what else was missed? Was it even proof tested? Was there any QC at all? If so, how could they miss such obvious problems? Sights having to be jacked over to one side or the other are not normal nor is that acceptable. I have guns from pre-WWI to modern day and not one of them has the sights jacked to one side to hit POA.
Contrary to the comments made, I don't waste time or money ordering in a gun and hoping it will be a POS. Having had some experience with Turkish guns in the past I was truly hoping this gun would have at least met basic expectations but unfortunately it didn't. For those that got a good one, I'm glad for you. I wish I had too. I truly like guns that give more value than the price would suggest. For me this wasn't one of them. It was a nice gun except for the problems. Unfortunately these are exactly the type of issues that have prevented Turkish guns from making any inroads in the U.S. market.
Just to add some more info:
Trigger was fairly nice with 5lb.'s average of three pulls. D/A around 12lb.'s.
Sear only had about a third or slightly more surface engagement which obviously helped account for the 5lb. pull.
Again, sorry if I got anyone's underwear in a bunch. That wasn't my intention. I don't do the favorites thing. I have a bunch of great Hi-Power's and early Browning's. I'll be the first to tell you most of what FN/Browning makes today is crap. Like I said, I call them like I see them.
