So you didn't contact the manufacturer, probably didn't clean the magazines when you got them or disassemble them and clean after 200 rounds, clean the cosmoline out when you got it, or clean the pistol after done shooting every time. And it's the pistol's fault. What ammo did you use? Some cheap garbage? If you expect to pull it out the box and run 500 rounds through it, not so. I bought this pistol. The stamp on the side is not as pronounced as the pictures would make it seem. I cleaned the bejesus out of it when I picked it up Friday, and also tried to tidy it up a little (de-burred feed ramp and a little rough edge on one side of the slide). Went across the street in the cornfield and shot various obsolete household items. More so obliterated. There was also an H&K .40, SA .45, and Glock 21 involved in the fray. We emptied a .30 cal ammo can full of .45 American Eagle and no issues. I like Federal and that's all I buy (shotgun, .308, but I buy the cheapo .22). I emptied both mags over a dozen times, and close to half it was full out mad dog assault, cuz let's face it, I'm an American goddammit, and it's just plain fun.
