What I said is that I have heard of (and seen) more than a few Mauser bolts that are CRACKED, which could, possibly, lead to a bolt shearing off and coming right back into the shooter's face, and that's really something that I don't wish to experience.

The overall design of the handgun is strong and sound. However, the composition of materials, ESPECIALLY in the Chinese copies, can be suspect to the maximum at times.
Its actually bolt stops and barrel extensions that cause the problems but Mike is correct in the consequences. However, a thread that cannot get Winston Churchills name right is a disgrace.
