What mag pouches are people running? Also is it not normal to run bullets facing back?
I run a variety of double-stack mag pouches, no real preference as long as retention and speed needs are met. I am a right handed shooter, so my mags are on my left, with bullets pointing towards my belt buckle. It is the prevailing configuration, in my experience. It is also, in my opinion, the fastest way to reliably reload your pistol. That being said, whatever way you practice will be the fastest way you do it. There are just some ways that work fastest for most shooters, and bullets forward is the fastest.

I shot my P320 today with Springer guide rod, 14# Wolff 1911 spring, and Remington UMC ammo. MUCH LESS SNAPPY! Shot controlled pairs, six shot rhythm drills, slow aimed fire, etc... Much faster shot to shot, recoil management better, follow up, and all that. Its going to be fast on steel. I'm going to run it, as is, for the spring/summer/fall and then possibly evaluate for some work. All of my peers love it, and we are Sig snobs with hundreds of thousands of rounds down range on several Sig/Glock/1911 platforms. We can't wait for some enterprising plastics guru to make a flared magwell lower for it (maybe without rail).

I cut 3 coils and the gun still ran fine.
If GGI is out then you can order a similar replacement guide rod from Springer Precision

Thanks, I posted the same link and when it refreshed, I saw your post.

I love my full size P320 9mm. But, I agree it is a tad oversprung. I would be happy to snip off a couple coils, if I had a spare. Does anyone have success with this?
Does anyone know when the GGI Guide Rods + 1911-springs are going to start flowing again? I don't want to order another stock spring when I won't be able to use it with the new guide rod, which I don't know when I will be able to get.

Does anyone have one?

Glad to see more Barnes Precision shooters on here!
Best out of the box AR I've owned or shot. And I've been pulling the trigger on that platform for 25 years.

I had the same problem with a Mossberg 930. I would love to tell you that I am a gun genius, disassembled, immediately located the problem, and repaired. Not the case. No idea what was causing the issue. My guess was trash in the trigger group and it just needed to be shot. Took it apart, cleaned it well. Put 100 rounds through it. It didn't malfunction as much but still had issues. Disassembled again, cleaned, lubed. Put another 100 rounds through it. Only a couple of malfunctions. Disassembled, cleaned, lubed. Haven't had another malfunction in prob 2000 rounds. Prob not the answer you were looking for but mine just needed some TLC and trigger time.
Thank you, my experience seems to be on the same track.

In your test exercise, try this- Hold trigger to the rear and cock hammer as you did- release trigger and it won't reset. THEN- with finger still off trigger, press hammer slightly rearward, as the bolt would if you ran it fully rearward to chamber another round. If my guess is correct, as soon as you press the hammer back it will reset the trigger. This would mean the disconnector is not resetting, which is usually caused by debris in the trigger group. A thorough disassembly and cleaning will reveal if there are any burrs or garbage causing the issue. Any qualified gunsmith should be able to handle it if you are not comfortable with a full disassembly.
You were correct in your assessment, the hammer performed in exactly that manner. Prior to your post I took a chance and disassembled it (http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=219571) and thoroughly degreased and cleaned each piece, hitting anything that felt rough with some 600-grit. Assembled after dry lubing everything. It has dryfired and reset flawlessly so far. I will have to shoot it tomorrow to make sure. Your advice validated my choice, and relieved my concern. Thank you.

OK, I've searched and I can't find this problem elsewhere. If you can find it, I admit your superior search skills and humble myself before you.
My new JM Pro on its first outing. I did the prep as mentioned in other postings.
I loaded the tube with 8-rounds 2 3/4 buckshot. Cycled the bolt, loading one in the chamber. Safety off, bang, cycles next round without problem. I typically hold my trigger to the rear on every other gun I shoot and then slowly release to allow reset, then pull the trigger again... trigger DID NOT RESET, AND DID NOT FIRE NEXT ROUND, hammer did not fall. I press-checked the chamber, yes there was a round there, firmly seated the bolt, pulled trigger again... Nothing. Manually cycle next round, pull trigger, bang. This continued intermittently, with no pattern.
At home I disassemble everything. Trigger grouping is intact. I put my thumb on the hammer and pull the trigger, hammer falls, no problem. If I hold the trigger and reset the hammer, the sear clicks forward to grab it. I release the trigger, no reset, and when I pull trigger, the sear does not release the hammer. HELP!

Fast is fine, but accuracy is final (or "everything," depending on the historical record of Wyatt Earp).

Whatever you have the most repetitions doing, no matter how ridiculous, is what you will do under stress. Training scars will cut deeper than you best laid plan. The PAC timer is nothing compared to the life or death moment requiring deadly force. People resort to stuff they haven't done in years (previous military service as an example), just because they have more repetitions doing that than their current carry situation. Dont be afraid to look bad at the range. Sweat in training to avoid bleeding in combat. Just my opinion.

You can't avoid Newton's laws or the other laws of physics. Everything is a mixture of leverage, force and mass, etc. A mixture of rigidity and flexibility allows the recoil to be absorbed by the largest muscle groups and they are more capable of returning the weapon to the desired point of aim. If the upper-body is semi-rigid, and the recoil is absorbed by the core and other upper-body muscle groups you are more likely to be able to manage the recoil, and follow thru to the next shot. The greater the mass of the body, the more the force acting (recoil) against it can be absorbed. If the mass of the body is low, then using the advantage of leverage (positional) can mitigate some of the recoil.
That being said... If you look at the angles you can decide what technique works for you. But as in all fighting arts, find someone who has a similar body type (mass) as you and try to emulate their successful technique. You can't punch like a heavyweight, if you are a lightweight.

Just got one Full SIze 9mm P320. Haven't shot mine yet (shot others) but trigger feels great in dry fire. I've been shooting a P229 in .357 Sig w/SRT and P239 in .357 SIg w/SRT, Wolff reduced power hammer strut spring, Robar lower. Had over 50,000 rounds thru my P229 before replacement, and I had it tuned perfectly. FAST FAST FAST! And I think the P320 could come close out of the box. It is my first polymer pistol, I've been a metal snob.

WIll there be an LE grouping? Sent my check in Sunday. Got a nice team of crusty has beens.
