Problems 1 and 2 can be blamed on poor quality machining,lousy quality control ect. Problem 3 is probably a sharp edge hammering on the same spot over and over.The sharp edge shouldn't be there so it could be the same issue as 1 and 2. A good gunsmith could clear up these problems but would probably be as much as selling the gun and buying a better quality one.

This is a case of you get what you pay for. Charlie Brown has the right idea, SA,Para, Colt, Kimber or my personal choice - SIG gsr
