There's got to be more to this story than what's posted here. I can't see your springfield having a design problem but the rest are fine. We'd be hearing about XDS pistols blowing up all the time if the case separations you showed are from a design issue.

It can't be just short chambered either, or the barrel wouldn't lock into battery enough to let the pistol fire. Something else is going on...

Them wanting you to pay for the frame indicates there's more to the story as well. Were you shooting someone's gun show reloads or what?
