Some days you just have to laugh.......

Your explanation above, to me, speaks of poor design. It should never ever happen. Have you thought of returning it to the factory for repair? Sounds like there is something not right.

Let's see if anybody can make a 1911 slide fly. Or a Sig 226, or countless other semis. In many if not all pistols, the slide needs to be in one specific position relative to the frame in order for the lock to be pressed or twisted, or tickled or turned 90 degrees whatever.

Semi-autos may jam or fail to fire for some reason, yes. Or a car that can park itself. I accept things like those. If you've seen it happen twice in 4 years, that is two too many. A pistol that self-dismantles is funny for sure, until you have to rely on it to preserve the most precious things in life.

Not an ideal design for sure. No, i'd not return it to the factory as it functions the way it was designed. The slide does have one spot where you have to lift. Some time things happen. It was good enough for a state to issue to troopers and west german border police, so i doubt it was a terribly common occurance. Either way, it's a dream to shoot, and the smallest non prohib you can get. I think i'll keep it even with it's quirks.
