I've been thinking about this thread a little since reading it last night and it seems like good information is being put forth.

At the risk of interupting the work of all the Team Sergeants gunsmiths, what is the best possible result here?
It is to have a reliable good shooting handgun, bottom line period and I don't care who makes it.

You guys are already tracking on this part but let me underline it from an industry point of view. The manufacturer NEEDS to know what's going wrong, this has to be stated to them at the highest level you can reach and please keep hammering. Yes, I know this takes some time and shouldn't have to be done but the makers need to know and this may cause positive change.
Doing nothing guarantees nothing will get done.

If the manufacturer chooses to not solve the problem, then do not buy stuff from them and advise others the same.

Edited to add: When trying to solve a design/function issue with a manufacturer and things aren't going your way, ask for the PRODUCT or CATEGORY Manager who is in charge of the product in question.
