Right the barrel may be short chambered or have a short throat.

I've seen that a few times, not from Springfield. In those cases it was obvious that the gun hadn't been test fired. One didn't even have a chamber.

Springfield doesn't manufacture that pistol, and I doubt that Springfield test fires these once they get them in the country, they are likely supposed to be good to go before they leave the factory. Test firing and range testing is expensive here.

Springfield should warranty that with no problems. If you're not happy with their Customer Service report back here. They will want to take a look if only to revisit their quality control. They should be wanting to bend over backwards to make you a happy customer...that is my experience with them. Call them on Monday.

Either way I'm glad you still have all your fingers and eyeballs...

Now raise your right hand and repeat after me...

I (say your name) believe in Glock perfection...
