I also brought a brand new 10 round mag with me which had never been used. With the new mag I felt some slide drag...but a little less than I was experiencing with the original 10 round mag. I measured the distance across the feed lips of the new mag and it was only a hair narrow compared to my 15 round mag which gives me no problems. I will try to adjust the new 10 round mag just like I did to the other one.

Anyway, it looks pretty good at this point.

By the way I used my 9mm barrel and 12 round 9mm mag today and the gun shot great, without a single issue. The gun almost makes a better 9mm than it does a 40 cal. I seem to be more accurate with it as a 9mm.
That's good to hear! How much did you tweak the slide stop spring?

My replacement slide stop and Apex parts should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately, due to family commitments, I probably won't get a chance to try it out immediately. If things work out, I may be able to get to the range Sunday.

Glad to hear the 9 mm set up works well for you. I have a 9C that has been dead nuts reliable, accurate and is my current CC weapon of choice.
