Just bought a new one from High Standard and already having trouble. Firing pin was broken when I tried to fire the first round at the range. I sent it back, they fixed it, and now having both failure to feed, and failure to eject problems. Out of a box of shells, only got six consecutive shots, otherwise there was a jam every two or three rounds, and I even had a few live rounds jammed in the ejection port! I took a look at your photo, and the hammer on my gun is also angled in relation to the slide, and it is rubbing against the frame on the left side when the slide comes back so that it is not evenly aligned with the center of the slide and firing pin. Seems like poor quality control. I don't know whether to try and fix these problems myself, or send it back again. Advice?
