An update if you could call it that. I wrote Mr. Donnelly a two page letter outlining the problems with my pistol on the 23rd of August, today the 23rd September still no answer. Last week I wrote the service department via email outlining the problems and received no answer. I've run out of good will regarding USFA so I sent the pistol back, told them to repair all the problem or replace it.
