I believe Mr. McIntosh reported three failures in an article he wrote, but, that was a long time ago. He poo-pooed the notion of continued failures as well, but, didn't own one, Phoenix marked, or, otherwise.

That said, exploding H&R Toppers, at $159, are unacceptable. When it is a Fabbri or a K80, it is no more or less acceptable


Yeah, nobody cares about exploding K80s, EXCEPT maybe the guys shooting them.


Best,
