I had the same issue with a 4516-1 and it was sent back to S&W twice, with the problem not solved. I replaced the recoil spring and the problem never showed up again, but like you I never trusted the weapon after that and sold it. I also briefly had a 457, but traded it for a SW99c in 9mm that I like better.
