It's also a know fact that if you get into hand to hand combat with someone that is using a semi-auto against you the easiest way to disable the gun is to push the front of the slide back just a little. The trick is to do it quick enough before it goes BANG.

I think this is a "Chicken Little" issue...the sky is not falling and the gun will function as intended if properly maintained and used as intended. If it failed to go into battery while firing then maybe I would worry about it. Coming out of battery by manually forcing it to do so is a non issue. A gun should always be carried in a proper fitting holster and this is just one example of the reason why it is important.

I am sure the guy who sent his gun to S&W for this issue will find they say the same thing. If he is uncomfortable with the gun he will have no problem selling it.......
Just my $0.02..........
