These were all friends' and coworkers' guns, I don't own a 26. If it's a recoil spring issue, that means the ones that worked were just on the borderline of being too light; with standard and +P loads the recoil spring should last at least 10,000 rounds, and I'm pretty sure none of these guns had that many rounds though them.

My theory is that there might be a minor difference between some older Gen 3s and the new Gen 3s and Gen 4s. Otherwise, it might be that the +P+ loads are just borderline functional and they work fine in some 26s and not in others.
