Thanks for the insights, guys. I'm hoping to get the pistol (and the new mags) back out to the range tonight. Haven't had a ton of time the last two weeks... just moved. But I'll report back on how the the Tripp, the Wilson and the Checkmate function.
Results were not great.
Had 2 FTFs. One with the Tripp. I think the other one was with the CMC (before I said “Checkmate”—meant CMC).
First FTF was of the “half into the chamber at a 45 degree angle” variety. Second seemed to be an inertia feed. Also had a premature slide lock.
Definitely not a performance I’d deem satisfactory.
You ran the gun with stock springs and mags, and had a FTF, on your first range session.
You changed springs, and mags, and experienced 2 malfunctions on your second session? I suggest you go back to the original configuration and shoot it more, and really get an idea what you're trying to fix. Changing a bunch of things is what get's lots of people in trouble.
Yeah. Good point. I figured I was eliminating a variable in in the off chance the stock spring was worn out. I guess it introduced new one. Honestly the fresh spring didn’t feel any more springy. Didn’t feel any different at all. Surprised I got that inertia feed (well, live round stovepiped, up) with the new mags.Originally Posted by theJanitor
