I long for the good old days - when any old thing off the assembly line was more than acceptable for T&E, because everything was well made.

Seriously though, that should be the quality goal of any manufacturer of anything. That an independent entity can pick up anything and evaluate it. No special SKUs no special deliveries, etc. The firearms world is one of the few where independent testing is still quite rare. Most LE agencies allow Reps to bring in T&E materials. It should not happen this way.
