Most ejectors are very small and can contribute to stovepiping. I suggest having an extended ejector installed in the pistol. Where the factory ejectors are short and basically flush with the Mag-well, the extended ejectors are perhaps 1/4" longer so they contact the case sooner and start the ejection process sooner.

Spring load and tension can vary quite a bit from one spring to the next, even within the same lot...so it's inevitable that the occasional spring will fall to or below minimum specs after taking the initial set...which, depending on the wire alloy variation...can happen quickly. All springs take an early set. Engineers take this into account, and rate the spring after that happens. e.g. A Wolff 11-pound magazine spring probably hits about 11.5 or more before the set, and averages 11 pounds after it occurs. Once that set is established, a good quality spring changes slowly. Then, there's always the old axiom that's always in play: "Your equipment is brought to you courtesy of the lowest bidder."

Thank you Mr. Sherill for the best explanation I have read concerning magazine springs in clear concise English.
