Thanks for your advice, Mike. I do not want to try something and it gets worse. With your advice i can take a try at something that will make it better off. On the magazine issue, one magazine seems to have a weak spring and is causing the rounds to sit in an incorrect position in the magazine. I think its time to get a fresh set and in the meantime, work on refurbishing the old one. A gunsmith actually modified a beretta magazine for this pistol.
