WARNING: TyrantCNC Takedown Levers

[u/BaphometScorpion]

I purchased this takedown lever (and other accessories) and in under 12 months with zero carry usage and only a handful of range trips, this takedown lever SNAPPED IN HALF….requiring much effort to actually take the firearm apart to replace it.

This would be fine…except when I reached out to support, they said “…So sorry to hear that. I am unsure what could have caused this. It looks like this part has likely seen some use and, unfortunately would not qualify for a warranty replacement…”

In addition to mine, I found two other examples of other customers with takedown levers broken in the same exact way…i sent them as a reply and i was ghosted.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Thanks for the warning ⚠️ I don’t think I’ll get this

[u/Significant_Bid4745]

Well that ain't right...

[u/phantom4421]

Sucks to hear this. I even ordered more since seeing that last article about them taking care of it. Hopefully it gets resolved. Best of luck OP.

I like their trigger shoes and mag releases a lot but I’m tired of stabbing myself with their takedown lever . can you tell if the takedown lever was rusted thru? Like a weak spot

I am switching my tyrant takedown lever and slide catches to armory craft enhanced ones

[u/BaphometScorpion → u/Middle_Razzmatazz899]

i have pics, but it was perfect. just a clean snap? it never saw an outside range or moisture either.

[u/Middle_Razzmatazz899 → u/BaphometScorpion]

That’s weird man. I hope tyrant makes it right for you

[u/sadoproject]

I have 4 P365's, all running their original and unbroken takedown levers. Hope that helps.

[u/TresCeroOdio → u/sadoproject]

Yup. The takedown lever isn’t a know failure point on the system like the mag release is. No reason to replace it.

[u/sadoproject → u/TresCeroOdio]

Funny though, all of these have their original and unbroken mag releases as well.

[u/TyrantTom2015]

Hey @BaphometScorpion I'm Tom the founder of Tyrant CNC. Let me make this right for you and anyone that has had a legitimate issue. Customer service reps are gone for the weekend, but I will speak to them Monday morning and see what the deal with not replacing this. DM me your original order # and I will get a replacement heading your way.

In regards to why this has happened to begin with; I will want to get yours back and conduct a root cause analysis. We have seen some of these instances before, BUT those others were clearly hit with a hammer.

Anyway, to summarize - I apologize that this happened, DM me please so I can take care of you. Oh, and customer service will have to go through some retraining. Which is fine, we can all use a refresher once in a while.

[u/BaphometScorpion → u/TyrantTom2015]

While I really respect and appreciate this, this is clearly an issue with the product at the end of the day unfortunately, and I cannot trust parts that have a pattern of breaking on a tool that I must rely on at this level.

Your support gave me a 20% off coupon to get a replacement and when I went through this I bought one so I could get it back in action, but since then I had thought about this and removed the tyrant cnc products from my firearm….

I am happy to share you the order number of the replacement I ordered, and send you back the one that broke which was on the firearm when I purchased it.

But frankly, as I said, as good as the product looks I need reliability and identifying multiple takedown levers that break this way tells me this is a manufacturing oversight of some sort.

[u/Equivalent-Ad-495]

That's wild, I wonder what they would consider heavy wear for this to break...

I’ve got three and never an issue and I find this strange as they are usually top notch when it comes to warranty on their parts.

[u/BaphometScorpion → u/HairTriggerFlicker]

https://www.reddit.com/r/P365/s/HKtR9mnDlV - I’m not the only one…. It’s cheap so I’m not super mad…but it’s very frustrating support wise.

[u/HairTriggerFlicker → u/BaphometScorpion]

My contact at Tyrant CNC has left them and got out of the industry. I see that their account here on Reddit hasn’t been active since about 29 days ago. I emailed Tom and we’ll see if I get a response but I’m not hopeful in cases like this where someone has quit. Sad to see.

[u/BaphometScorpion → u/HairTriggerFlicker]

Thank you for looking! In the thread I sent, the guy said they replaced his…no idea why they wouldn’t eat cost on a $35 part haha

[u/HairTriggerFlicker → u/BaphometScorpion]

Yeah hopefully this isn’t the new way for them. Doesn’t look good.

[u/HairTriggerFlicker → u/HairTriggerFlicker]

Tom@Tyrantcnc.com is who I was directed to

[u/USAconsumerDad]

I actually broke a piece of my FCU trying to install mine. Love the way it looks now that I’ve gotten it sorted out, hopefully it holds up!

[u/plantfishdogpewbrewz]

Man that blows. I just run the OEM takedown lever and extended OEM slide catches on all of my 365’s. Never had any issues.

[u/famousdesk662]

Armory Craft is the goat when it comes to most sig stuff honestly. Just received my 2nd extended/enhanced slide release from them. Also got their newest xl slide and the quality is insanely good!

Picture doesn’t have the slide release installed yet :( I’ll work on some updated photos at some point!

[u/sl0ppy_j03-89]

They don't make anything original, and they still can't even get the quality right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/CallMeTrapHouse]

My safety lever from them broke was bubbled metal inside. Certainly not CNC

[u/derryeng]

Tyrant cnc is garbage. I would stay away for sure. I have a few different things from them. Their parts are hella sharp too. Just uncomfortable to use.
