Kasey Reminded Me Of Another Idiot Buyer
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 took, 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.

Broke the frame? That is industrial-strength Bubba at work! 0 -
Must used a 12 foot screwdriver to damage one of those.[:0] 0 -
We have members of the Bubba Gun Smith family in these parts that can tear up an anvil. 0 -
I listed a shotgun barrel in the appropriate category, the description starts off, "This barrel fits..." and the only photo is of a shotgun barrel.
I had a bidder that thought he was buying a shotgun.0 -

I would have made a trophy out of it and sent it back
saying that is the first time you have ever seen that
kind of effort to destroy a firearm.0
