The shorter and lighter slide and stiffer springs makes for a more violent cycling since it is moving much faster. The fix was to have a dimple or ball bearing in the follower that sits in the extractor groove of the brass, to keep it from moving during recoil. Swapping Wolf springs into the mag also helps. The combo should eliminate the problem.<br /><br />When I watch a Govt Model being shot by someone else, the slide seems to just be trundling along to my eyes, but the Officers Model is a blur. I would expect the smaller 3" barrel models to move at least as fast, if not faster.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-19785263271322943032020-05-02T08:10:20.763-05:002020-05-02T08:10:20.763-05:00Minni Me and I will actually get some range time t...Minni Me and I will actually get some range time this am...Since yesterday was the first day that our Glorious Leaders allowed us to have some small liberties I will be extra observant at the range and if any safety issues go sideways I will be prepared to: call attention to the problem/call attention to the brain dead nimrod/ and/or hit the deck/seek cover.<br /><br />Brand new range that advertises pistol as well as rifle lanes.<br /><br />It has been far to long and look forward to introducing my Son to proper and safe range behavior.<br /><br />MSG GrumpyMSG Grumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789315545377882421noreply@blogger.com
