    This is just to throw it out there, on one of my 80% Glocks I built I had a problem with putting a spring in, in the wrong order, and that caused it to not run correctly on ejection. My son-in-law, a Glock armorer, looked at it and figured it out right away and I'd been fighting it not locking back or something like that as it has been too long to remember exactly. If it is an 80% you built let me know and I'll take a look and figure which spring and order was wrong.

    Sounds to me you have a cycling problem from limp rist or something mechanical, not the load.

    But on the load, did you run them through a 9mm check gauge?

    Do you have any insight on what spring you had installed incorrectly? I did a p80 G19 build and am also having similar problems stovepiping and not always locking on last round. I am also at the top end of my powder charge for my load.

    Just don't tell my wife how much any of this really costs.

    From my son-in-law:
    Yes that's correct, if you put the top pin in first then the slide release ad its spring in you'll be good to go. If the top pin goes in between the slide stop spring and the slide stop it will cause that malfunction.
