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.

Pretty nice gesture on your part. He should feel lucky he got anything back.

What I have never understood is why someone would buy a cheap firearm,
If your purpose is to use a firearm to defend your life, or a loved-one's life. then buy the best tool to do the job. Something that goes bang every time.
Anything else is just stupid.
