That sounds like a good excuse for a hard chrome finish.
If you don't want to spend that much, Teflon based finishes are also pretty nice. As for the lube problem, I don't think that's normal. What kind of failures are you having? |

If not dripping, the slide slows down to the point it's not only noticeable but won't reliably eject the spent round.
It probably has less than 2000 rounds through it… It’s always done this but does seem worse lately. Yost? Info please.. Thanks |

While this is often recommended as a “remedy” to feeding and function issues it doesn’t actually fix anything at all. If the gun won’t feed with a 16# spring something is wrong with the gun. With that said, a new recoil spring (one you’re certain of the weight) may help. Generally speaking the finish should not have a whole lot to do with the way a gun runs but I have seen stranger things happen… much stranger things. Any particular type of failures that seem to be repeating themselves? Are they all when used with the same magazine? |

No, no paticular magazine, happens with all of them. I think I will change the recoil spring, it's the original and may very well be part of, if not the entire problem. That never occured to me. Anything else I should change while I'm ordering parts? With the exception of the slow slide it seems to function fine. I think I'll order a stock spring and and extra power one just to see if it makes a difference..
Thanks guys BD |

WWII USGIs were parkerized I think that should answer the question about the finish playing a role in your reliability problem. a non-historic/collector's pistol owned for 10 years and has less than 2,000 rounds through it???????

^regardless
after 2,000 rnds through it all contact surfaces should be worn down enough to eliminate that as the cause I"d look at the recoil spring. |
