I had 3 legions and now have 3 max's. Of all 6, 1 legion did that regardless of recoil spring(I run 12's). Never really figured out why but never looked into it. Never had a problem with life fire. Only if I racked it slowly by hand.  

 

Don't worry about it. 

When you rack the slide slowly possible it would not go full battery, cuz the firing pin catch the sears and it helps to slow down the slide into battery(hence specially if you have hard firing pin spring). So you don't need to rack it slowly.

Common problem. Doesn’t really effect the function of the gun. But if you dryfire with any regularity, you are gonna toast that spring. I stopped replacing them in my practice gun a long time ago. 

So you mean, I can still use the gun with/without the reset spring with no issues?

[Sig P320X5 reliability]

I have issues on reset spring on the striker pin, after a couple of dry fire without caps the reset spring cut into half.

That looks great.  I like the cuts on the comp.  Did you do custom cuts on a purchased comp or did you completely build the comp? 

The comp originally is Max Bedel Titatium. I did all the works of my open gun.  Thanks for liking

[STI DVC Open gun ejection advice needed 9mm Major]

I suggest filing 1/4 of the ejector's top half ( top right corner) at a 20 degree angle and 3/4 of its bottom half (bottom right corner) at a 60 degree angle. However, your measurements may differ from mine since they vary depending on how long your ejector is.

Try use new magazine like MBX, that's what happened to me installed everything it turn out the cause is the magazine.

I have STI 126 mags with Grams guts and Extended base pads.  I have STI 140 mags with Grams guts and base plate.  I have 1st gen SVI mags that didn't work with Grams guts, but run fine with TTI guts and base pads.  I also have MBX mags.

 

I'm tired of screwing around tuning STI feed lips.  Frankly, I'm tired of STI anything.  I sold all my STI tuned mags.  I kept three to use for dry fire practice.  I have two SVI 140s and one SVI big stick, all with TTI guts and base pads.  I use them for times when I have to drop a mag on dust or loose dirt.  If it is grass of stone, I use my MBX mags.  They run and run, and take abuse that would send STI mags back to the tuning shop for feed lip remedy.  The MBX runs so well I'm considering selling the three SVI mags and buying more MBX.  I'm way to old to be fussing with this stuff, and I have zero tolerance for failures during a match.  BTW, I HATE spacers.

[A couple questions about gun finish and ejector]

it means that the slide is not travel far back enough with the guide rod. If there is a buff, try not to use it.

[reuse open barrel?]

What you gonna do with the old good barrel (throw it)?  Find another gunsmith.

[A couple questions about gun finish and ejector]

Is this an open gun or a standard 2011?  l suggest that you file the ejector little by little until it will completely eject the bullet (this depends on the bullet you want to use).  Then fire the gun around 1K rounds before you do anything else.

 

Make sure the magazine with one bullet left will eject properly. It's because during the course of fire, the remaining bullet will go forward a little bit, so when you eject the magazine, the bullet nose or magazine follower will touch the  ramp of the barrel. If this happens and your magazine get's stuck, start filing the protruding barrel ramp little by little until the magazine can be released without any issues.

 

About the scratches, start finalizing until the gun will no longer have a problem. You may use a regular metal polish or buff polish by Brownell's.

 

Hope this helps. Good luck.
