It looks as if I'm in the market for a nice, older 10. Sadly, a very nice 10-5 sold at the nearest store about the same time I shipped my 12-3 off to S&W. The search begins...

The problem with the factory repair is they are almost helpless by exercising no options other than to put in new parts. Your 12-3 is far from lost with such a simple problem. Take it to a few local smiths and get their feedback. I'm sure one of them can fix it, it's not rocket science.
Or do as I suggested above in my post, drive it back in place. If the problem reoccurs after a couple of thousand rounds, drive it back in again.
