[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 1937249, member: 14520"] I agree with stop polishing the ramp. You certainly can over polish and mess the frame up. And a polished ramp is seldom the fix for anything. I also agree with losing the shock buff. IMO they don't help calm recoil that much. And an argument can be made that the buff can reduce the rearward movement of the slide enough that it can't travel far enough backwards to allow a full forward travel to develop reliable speed to do its job loading the chamber. A stretch but possibly possible? The recoil spring, being of unknown strength, could be an issue and a new Wolff spring is cheap. Absolutely extractor tension could be an issue but a properly chamfered mouth on the extractor could be an issue too. My experience has been that mag issues are the root cause of many feeding problems. And Since you have two mag brands and the STI is the bad boy the mags feed lips could be out of shape for a flat nosed (kinda like a wad cutter?) bullet. Tuning mags to run 38 super wad cutters is a bit of an art. [/QUOTE]
