It's a shame that some give Sam Lam a bad rap because he lives in Canada. I don't know, or can't see what that has to do with the quality of the product he produces.

I question the "thorough" testing of all the bushings, because there have been reports and admittance on another forum, by the producer, of the "other" bushing being too long and not working properly. Quality control problem? At first their copy of Sam's bushing was made from aluminum, until the protests started to
pour forth over that mistake. I have examined and thoroughly measured several of the hammer bushings put out by the other producers besides, Sam Lam, that customers had in the pistols they sent me to get working properly. Those, as measured, appear to me to be exact copies in every way of Sam's product. So, as for me, if people copy the originally improved bushing, to its exact dimensions, there must be something spectacular about that originally produced hammer bushing. I have installed over 50 of the Sam Lam bushings and have
NEVER needed to send one back because it was too long, or didn't fit properly. Maybe many here don't know it, but the Ruger and Volquartsen hammer bushing holes are not made to a consistent diameter. Sam Lam will custom make bushing diameters to fit those various diameters perfectly. Others, don't offer that type of customer service.

It is nice to have choices, but it sure befuddles me, why somebodies excellent product should be passed over because it comes from our best ally just to the North of the USA.
