In 40, my capacity remained the same but I could not reload into them reliably. I have mags with the +20% that only see 20 rounds and some with the original springs that get 21 when needed.

You’ve got a world and national champ right down the road. @T_T http://www.travistomasie.com/course-schedule.html

MasterPiece Arms has their DS40 offering. The website shows it coming with an aluminum grip but will ship with a steel one. Their steel grip design is something they have been working on for a while now. I just got mine in with the aggressive texturing.

I suspect this. When I switched from CZ limited guns to 2011s, I tried some of my CZ ammo in my 2011s out of curiosity. I experienced the sensation you are trying to explain. If and when you lengthen your ammo and try different profile bullets, pay close attention to how they feel when feeding. That “catching” when feeding is more noticeable when using truncated or flat nose bullets versus round nose bullets.

They did the same for me when I cracked a frame on a DVC Limited Island Barrel 40 earlier this year. They didn't have another DVC to replace it with so they replaced it with a Staccato XL in 40.

While you wait for the springs to come in, you can clip a 1/4 of a coil from the spring and it will work. I don’t recommend running it this way long term but it will get you running for now.

Have you checked your extractor tension? When I tried the extra power extractor springs, I had failures to feed as well. Too much tension and the case cannot slide up underneath the extractor hook. It shouldn't take much to slide a case underneath the extractor hook but there should be enough tension for a case to be held in place even if you vigorously shake your slide assembly.

The Hodgdon website shows 2.7-3.2 grains of titegroup for a 95 gr FMJ. I am in the same situation. I like to shoot my carry and home defense guns regularly and reloading for them is the only real way to that right now.

I can’t remember what the weights were but I think this is talked about in the TSO threads in the CZ section. When I ran the TSO’s, I ended up throwing those springs away and running Cajun Gun Works recoil and hammer springs.

One of mine did the same this morning.

Anyone know of a shop who has done the old STI saber cuts before? Looking to get them done to the front of this legend but local shops I’ve talked to wont attempt it.

I never ran buffers after testing them initially. Regardless of my spring combinations.

How is the tension on the extractor? Too much tension can cause this. I experienced this when I replaced my extractor springs to extra power springs in my CZs.

This was discussed a couple years back in the CZ section and some good info can be found there. With that being said, I previously ran CZs exclusively but recently switched to the 2011 platform. I have only had 4 matches using my 2011s and my initial thought is “I haven't gained or lost anything” by switching platforms. I feel it is still too earlier for me to have a good opinion comparing the two but I will be back to share my thoughts when I have more time behind these guns.

Here is another one I did and used JB weld this time around. Much easier to work with!
