What happened to make them quit firing?
I didn't get to look inside 'em, so have no idea. The guys who fixed them just threw new parts at the problem rather than diagnosing the cause.
Thus nobody learned anything...........other than they can quit going bang.
I have seen a very large percentage of slide locks break, and that's basically a function of round count. Shoot enough and the break. Our pistols are early models, and slide lock issue has been fixed. Replacement parts are beefier. Given that roughly half of them broke on the right side which doesn't engage the slide and shouldn't be under any stress, it's not a real vote of confidence for the steel they're using.
