Ever since they dropped the price, I have been hearing of more issues with them. Could just be that more are being sold and therefore more likely to hear of an issue, but hopefully they are not going the way of "let's lower prices and QC and see what happens."
Should have bought a high point

Lol. Today’s gun culture is warped.

Yeah, what's up with that? I do want a USP 9mm LEM but they're still in the $800's. I used to have a P-30 and it didn't like any sort of compromised hold. It was fine when using a solid two hand grip but single handed, moving and shooting it would sometimes FTE. My buddy has a P-30L in .40 and it really demands a solid hold to function well. It would seem HK designs their pistols for full power military/police ammo.
Its a mass produced product...despite what the fanboys say, there are bound to be some lemons out there. I wouldn't take a single example as proof that HK quality has "slipped". I'd give them the chance to correct it. If they don't correct it, then I'd say you should move on to a different manufacturer.
I've had defective products out of the box from a variety of "reputable, high-end manufacturers" although HK is not among them. Stuff happens, and a .1% defect rate means 1/1000 are defective. I suspect a lot of firearms stuff has a >1% defect rate, as does lots of non-firearms stuff these days. Modern manufacturing is pretty good and QC costs money, why not let the buyer beware and advertise your "awesome warranty and customer service" like many companies do.
There are a handful of companies that seem to have miniscule defect rates, but none of the ones I'm thinking of make handguns. It's not as if HK (and Glock, and a few others) are showing up all that often in OOB defect complaints though.
What color was the recoil spring? As you know, the 9mm spring should be red. Years ago I bought a new 9mm P2000 that would not function with any ammo. Turns out the spring installed was from the .40. HK sent out a new spring that solved the issue along with a bunch of cool swag.
I had an early XD that had issues at first. I was told to leave the slide locked to the rear for a few days and go back to the range. It seemed to solve the problem.
