Well, the title says it all. I did the HC slide exchange, worked out some feeding bugs by polishing up the contact points, now it works well with Cor Bon JHPs, PMC Starfire and Win value pack ammo. What didn't come up during the range session was the unloading of a chambered round.
With the slide fully retracted to the rear, the nose of Cor Bon (0.948" COL) ammo hangs up on the upper right corner of the barrel hood and just barely clears the foreword edge of the ejection port. I removed the recoil spring assembly to see if the new spring was preventing rearward travel when compressed- No difference. The only thing I haven't checked (Too early to wander outside & play with a loaded gun..) is to remove the ejector (New) and retract the slide w/ round to the rear to see if the ejector may be too long, causing a triad of contact between the round, extractor claw, ejector and barrel hood that would limit the rearward travel of the slide.
I suspect that I'm not the only one who's had this problem but was unable to find similar problems and fixes listed.
Any thoughts/ solutions?
