So I finally have time to pick up my gun that came in a week ago. I was told that the manufacture cleaned, oiled and replace the trigger guard on the gun. The trigger guard is also the cocker and breach break lever. I get it out make sure the barrel breaks and goes back together which was the problem and then put in back in the box. I get it home thinking I should go out a shoot this thing. I take it back out of the box and I hear something rattling inside. I figure it is the sling swivels. I hand it to the wife to take and look at it and she hear the rattling. I take it back and hold both swivels to the don't rattle. Low and behold something is rattling in the trigger mechanism. I know you not suppose to dry fire and weapon but I wasn't about to go out and have something blow up on me. I pull the bottom barrel trigger and a nice clean snap. Pull the top barrel trigger and nothing. Cock the lever again nothing. So I decided to pull the thing apart to check it out and see it the left and part loose or screw rattling around. Get it open and out falls a part. What it was is the ear off the cocking lever. There are 2 strikers side by side. The cocker has two ears one cocks each striker. Since the one was broken it would not cock back the top barrel striker.
I call Chiappa. I told them I just want the part. They inform me that I can purchase the part. I told them this thing hasn't been out of the box since I won it at the NWTF raffle. It should still be covered under warranty. Then they tell me Outdoor Emporium is the only one that can order it. I am so PO'd. I guess I am glad I won that gun but I want to make sure that everyone knows about their service and warranty department.
