I put the new ejector in and a 10# reduced recoil spring this morning and went to the range.
I tried 50 RDS of tame plated handloads and 50 rounds of 124 grain +p gold dots
the hand loads kicked out a good 5 foot (except the random few that always land on my head)
the gold dots kicked noticeably harder and landed a good 10 feet to my 4 o clock
I don't honestly think the spring was what did it, but it ran without an issue. despite the fact that they look identical, I think the new ejector fixed it.
I will keep the 10# spring in it though.
I don't think it does the action any favors while shooting +p, but since I won't average any more than a couple mags every couple years anyway, I doubt they will wear it out. the gun will likely benefit more from being tailored for tamer loads.
I need to get a holster for this, I think I feel comfortable to carry it now, but I will monitor it with a few hundred rounds of WWB in the near future. I have always carried a G17, but I shoot these pt92's and berettas so much better, plus I really like DA/SA guns as well as the aesthetics of these guns..
