G'day.
I run a Kimber Stainless Target II in 38 Super for Classic Division (Single Stack) for IPSC here in OZ.
A little trigger work, S&A Magwell and a bit of skate tape and she is good to go.
You do not need them.
G'day All.
I have one of these thumbrests on my 2 G35 357Sig Std Div guns and it does help control the gun when firing Major power factor loads. The grip on the guns feels more secure. YMMV...
Hooroo.

GlockJockey racker
Dale Rhea extended ejector from Bobby Carver.
12lb wolf spring on a Captured Glockmeister S/Steel rod.
Glockthumb beavertail and rest.
Lowered ejection port by 1.5mm. This was to and try to get theCarver Competition Mount to work(no luck) and is not needed with the Siedler mount.

G'day.
125gr with 6.8gr WSF for 168PF in 9mm G17 4 port comp.
This load works the comp well and allows for quick dot recovery.
I tried 145gr pills but could not get enough gas for the comp.
Hooroo.

G'day.
My G17 Open Gun Major 9 runs a 13lb flat wire Glockmeister recoil spring in a non captured lighteningstrike S/steel rod.
Stock striker spring with a Wolf heavy trigger spring and light striker safety spring.
4 port Ali comp on a EFK barrel.
Frame is a 2 pin FGR frame. C-more on a Siedler mount.
I had similar problems getting mine to run. Lowered the ejection port to 1mm above the serial number.
Running the LCI bearing with a Non-LCI extractor and an extended ejector by Dale Rhea via Bobby Carver.
Mine would light strike with the lighter wolf striker spring and the trigger wouldn't go all the way forward and the trigger safety would not work. I'm running a Ghost ultimate connector.
I had issues with leaving a case in the chamber when I was running lighter recoil springs, but now have no problems.
My major load is 6.8gr WSF with a 125gr coated lead loaded to 1.150 167 P/factor (chronoed).
The locking block angles on the 2 pin frame seems to be slightly different to the 3 pin frame. I have a G34 3 pin and if I swap topends with the G17, the barrel goes easliy into battery with the 11lb recoil spring.
I am waiting on a new 2 pin locking block at the moment.
Maybe try a new locking block?
As for mags. We are limited to 10 round mags here in Australia so I have no feed issues with mags.
Hope this helps.
Hooroo.

Australia.
P.S. I run a bore snake thru my barrel after each stage in a match just to be sure that there is no crud in the chamber.
[edit]... Run a Major 9 in Open. Mine shot great at the QLD State Titles. Chrono 167P/F.
I'm doing a G35 in 357 SIG for STD Div.
Who did you get the LWD slide and Barrel thru?
Hooroo.
Regtards, Trevor.

Hooroo.

G'day.
The 4lb striker spring has no problems with small rifle primers out of my G17 Major 9.
Winchester, CCI, Federal, PMC, Fiocchi small rifle primers all fire fine.
