Sorry to hear! Yes, i love my stainless P and so far not a sign of bulging. Dont remember round count but it has a lot! Really feels great with my smaller hands. I tjink CZ just did not have the correct polymer mixture the first time. Maybe they shoild try again as they now have polymer pisto,s with no problem.for now, i carry my stainless P. This will be going to CGW for Defensive carry pavkage as soon as they send me GO email to ship. Im on the list!
