Another of one of my pistols is on the way back to the Manufacturer because the trigger won't work. This time it was my SCCY CPX-1. Last week it was my S&W Bodyguard. I am either bewitched by faulty triggers, or paranoid. Right after I shot the SCCY , (Or Failed to Shoot) I tried my S&W Shield and my Taurus G2 and both worked fine, so it isn't me. Is the failure to fire typical now day's or am i just unlucky?

You're not unlucky. You're buying cheap guns, and reaping the benefits.
Ever wonder how it might feel to get rid of all the cheap guns and have just a few good ones?

It happens, even to the best of them. One of the worst handguns I ever owned was one I paid over a grand for.

A person in the industry once wrote this about the gun buying public, and their proclivity to buy cheap piece of crap guns:
"If you sold chocolate lollipops for $2 and dog [bleep] on a stick for $1.75, the American gun-buying public would suck a turd every time."
They were completely spot on.
90% of gun buyers will buy a cheap, sub par gun, and then brag about what a great deal they got on it. They will ignore the fact that every other magazine they have issues, or just don't shoot it much at all, and carry it anyway, and use it as some sort of talisman. Hope being a strategy.
It makes no sense to me why a person would buy 3 or 4 garbage guns, of questionable reliability, instead of one high quality gun, from a manufacturer with a reputation of building reliable guns.
I would rather have 1 K Frame Smith & Wesson Model 19, than 4 Taurus revolvers any day.

I don't have any high dollar handguns, or any cheap stuff.
My handgun battery consists of only two brands, Ruger and Glock. Wasn't even a deliberate choice. Just practical quality at a fair price. No lemons among them.

Ruger and Glock are perfect examples of how inexpensive does not always mean "cheap." The value proposition from both brands is the best in the business, in my opinion.

$550 for a glock plastic gun is cheap?
