that bad huh??? They are pretty cheap 
My cousin has one. I'm not going to bad mouth anyone here but if you want to know what he's been dealing with shoot me a pm.
As for a new gun. If you can find a TC Black Diamond XR in stainless. Buy it. You can still find new Knight Bighorns in the stores. There's even been a few places that have had them on a Father's day sale.
