Slow cycling by hand watching the pickup looks perfect. Of course there is no recoil. Since both of these pistols did the same thing, the same day within a few minutes of each other, the operator error idea looks promising. Altought I'd hate to think that in serious use I'd have to use a textbook hold to avoid a jam.

The short gun mag spring is stout enough that it's challenging to load the first round. No so on the Wilson eight rounder. I will change the spring on that one for sure.

Regarding the slide spring, both "feel" stiffer than a normal 1911 slide. Of course the smaller one needs a stiffer spring and like I said I deliberately put a stiffer spring on the full size unit. Neither spring has more than 500 rounds or two years on it yet. Of course changeing springs for good measure is an inexpensive thing to do.

Not sure I want a gun I have to hold perfectly for it to function. I know about extreme limp wristing and that's not what I'm talking about.
