UPDATE
got my pistol back today.
new frame as I expected (since I paid for it)
same barrel same slide.
took apart, dropped a round in it to do the 'plunk' test
if you want to know what it looks like, see the first picture in the thread. It's no different.
I plan on calling tomorrow and see what they say. I'll send him a picture of the round in the barrel and see if they can or want to do anything.
I'm not expecting anything so I won't have high hopes.
Let's make this easy: if the barrel locks into the slide with a live round chambered, the chamber is deep enough.
That doesn't address any other issues of course, but it does answer the comments about it being short chambered. Since you were able to shoot it once, it's a safe bet that it's not a short chamber.
