I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I'm looking at this from another perspective too. At what point do you have enough rounds through the gun that it's on you to buy the new part? I get it, we have all probably bought a used gun or two on this forum and I know I sure have. The P365 I have on me as I type this was bought used. Despite whatever inspection I do at the time of purchase I also know that I'm taking some degree of risk. I don't know if the guy was running pure crap handloads through the gun or was trying to show off to his friends about how high of pressure he can run through his P365 with his special +P+++++ handloads. I especially don't get being upset about a part that you'd notice was broken in less than 5 seconds if you disassembled to inspect before purchasing.
I just don't get the outrage at Sig here guys. I'm no sig fanboy either, and what they do every time they put out a new product and let their customer base do the R&D for them is reprehensible. I've bought a few sig products over the years and I'll probably never buy any new model of anything they sell until it's been out for a year or two minimum, because I 100% anticipate a safety recal.
Having said that, if you had a used AR-15 and had an extractor break after running it hard for 10,000 rounds would you be upset at the manufacturer or would you realize you just need a new $10 part and that service and maintenance is part of gun ownership. Would you be mad at GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Acura or whoever that you have to maintain your new or used vehicle that you bought?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you bought a great gun with a great reputation for reliability that you have no idea how many rounds had been through it or what type of ammo was run through it. At some point just put your big boy pants on, buy the $35 part from PSA and go enjoy your gun.
