Isn't the ejector on the slide?Yeap. Call STI.
Where is the ejector pin?
What do the slide rails look like?
It's a steel alloy. 4140 maxxel alloyA very very good tig welder could fix this if the warranty does not cover this. I am assuming it's aluminum.
Yeap. Call STI.

I see what you're saying. The ejector pin has broken off. That's probably what caused the crack in the frame.Isn't the ejector on the slide?
Slide rails look fine except the top one on the left had come loose.
I sent sti an email for a warranty claim.
And was wondering if it chewed up the slides rail cut on the left side. Take a pic of the slide rails sectionI see what your saying. The ejector pin has broken off. That's probably what caused the crack in the frame.

Long day yesterday. I'll check this morning.The slide rails, not frame rails. You know, the thing that SLIDES back when a round if fired
That's all good cut/paste info there , but totally inapplicable to this issue. A fine (.060) electrode on a TIG welder or laser weld and redrill the ejector pin hole would be proper repair. Not trying to strike an arc to the frame with an arc welder.Well looks like it should be able to be welded anyways. From the interwebs
Weldability
This grade has good weldability and may be welded using any commercial method. Parts should be preheated before welding at 400-600 Âş F (200-300 Âş C), slow cooled from welding and stress relieved after. Parts in the hardened and tempered or surface-hardened conditions should not be welded since mechanical properties will be adversely affected. Parts should be welded in the annealed condition only.
Low-hydrogen electrodes are recommended together with preheat at 300 – 500 º F (150 – 260 º C.) to be maintained during welding, Cool slowly and stress relieve where possible.
Phoenix Trinity has a pretty good deal if your looking to do a build. View attachment 13647
Thanks. I'll let you know what happens. I probably will not hear anything until next week.
Refer to my first post. Post number 5 I think. No one said anything about arch welding. I believe I suggested TIG welding.That's all good cut/paste info there , but totally inapplicable to this issue.

If STI will not take care of it, I can.
FWIW. Phil
You're absolutely right. The glock would have melted at such a high rate of fire!Glock wouldn't have done that. or a real 1911. LOL.
In all seriousness…..sorry about that. That is a nice pistola. Im sure STI will make it right.
You are the man!I got ya back if you need something to shoot with while it is at STI.

I just got off the phone with STI and it looks like they are going to replace the gun entirely. That's about as easy as it gets right there.
yeeeeaaaaaaah booooooooy!
I hope its the day before the staff shoots for the NC state matchI would bet you'll get the new back in a 2-3 weeks.
