[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1938577, member: 1132"] That's what I was getting at in my earlier post. When you run standard length .40's in a frame designed to handle .45's, the shorter OAL allows the bullet tip to nose dive more before it contacts the feed ramp, which can result in a stoppage. By loading to a longer OAL, the bullet will hit the feed ramp higher up. It's not a matter of distance, but of time. That's what confuses a lot of people. Feed cycle smoothness has a lot to do with timing. [/QUOTE]
