1. Dry firing a .22LR gun of almost all makes is inherently damaging to the gun as the firing pin stikes the face of the chamber and causes peening. Ask anyone and they should confirm this independantly. Therefore your request to "try the trigger" should have been refused on all accounts, and likely would be refused in any store.
2. You originally asked to "try the trigger" of this gun, not to buy it in our store, but as you rather ineptly said to my sales rep at the time, 'because you intended to buy one online'.
With these two rather salient points in consideration, you are welcome to take your business elsewhere, perhaps a big-box store? I am sure you will get excellent customer service there. Or you can accept that your request was unreasonable, and that the sales rep had every reason to refuse your request to damage a gun you had no intention of buying from us anyway.
Unfortunately this forum allows the posting of ALL opinions, informed or not, so I felt compelled to answer this one personally. You are of course welcome to refute these claims, but I was there at the time, overheard the conversation and did not feel the need to intercede, as my "chubb" was acting exactly as I would have wanted. I am sorry this is not to your liking, I think the community will back me on this one.
