So while he hasn't range tested it yet, MB says the new "Glocky" trigger (in dry firing) has improved the pull and the over travel. Maybe I'll hang on and wait 'till they've upgraded mine and try it out before just getting rid of it.
Also, I did go online and re-register for the recall, explained in a note at the bottom how long I've been waiting, that I had registered back in very early April, etc., . I actually got an email response asking me to be patient and that I should recieve a box within a month.
