I bought this gun new about 8 months ago and only have maybe 800 rounds through it. Cleaned every time used, never dropped. Yesterday at Guthsville was shooting Remington Golden Bullet (most of the previous rounds were Federal AutoMatch) and the gun was not cycling reliably and had a couple misfires (light strike). I had to manually pull the slide back maybe 10-15 times (fired about 60 rounds Jan 1, total) to cycle it. Last time I could not pulll slide back. I put safety on and really pulled hard, then noticed the gun fell apart (barrel came right off) and the frame was split like this.
