| I’m having consistent issues with failure to feed and/or failure to lock back on last round. It’s not magazine or ammo specific. 350 rounds fired and it’s not improving. Any suggestions? |
| What grain ammo are you using? Mine tends to prefer 124grs or heavy bullets. If I’m shooting 115gr ammo I get stove pipes or failures to lock back especially on a lighter load. I’ve also noticed you gotta have a good hold on it, no limp wristing at all or the slide doesn’t completely cycle. |

It does it with 124 grain as well as 115. Once I had difficulty pulling the slide back to extract an unfired round (failure to go into battery?). I don't know the spring weight, it's a new pistol and it's what springfield put on it. I definitely wouldn't trust my life with this pistol. How do I determine what spring is on it? I believe these are symptoms of short stroking? I want to love this pistol, but can't in it's current state. |
