Don,
Hope the wedding goes well and the barrel issue, too. If you fail to get it resolved my suggestion would be to get rid of the gun and move on. The barrel regulation problem does indeed exist, in most brands. There are exceptions, however.
One alternative would be to get a Perazzi, if you really like the style and handling of the Rizzini. I couldn't afford a new one, and really wanted to shoot one in registered sporting, so looked around until I got lucky. Fact is, you can fine very nice MX-8's, old but sound, for the money you've got in a new Rizzini. And you will not have regulation issues with them. In the last 10 months I have gotten two, one at $1850 and another much newer and probably a 98% gun for $3400. Both with 31 1/2" barrels and both tight as a drum. The last one still has to be pushed down to open. K guns will not have the regulation problems either. I just like the Perazzis better.
Good luck, Stan
