SD40VE feed problem
I have a SD40VE that I purchased back in June. Has been an excellent gun, until recently. I have the apex spring kit and tactical trigger in it, stainless steel 22lb guide rod assembly, polished the feed ramp, and stippled grip. As of recently it occasionally does not feed a round entirely (the bullet makes it way but the casing stops and it takes a small tap on the back of the slide to engage it. it does this maybe 3-4 times in 200 rounds (a little too much for comfort). I have checked the barrel for a ridge or anything. I have noticed that both mags that I have have a little up and down play while inserted in the gun. They have more play than my m&p 40 that I have. Id say they more about a 1/8th of an inch. ill try and get pics of the difference in movement.
I have attached two pictures of what the barrel looks like after about 250 rounds. and what it looks like clean. ill try and get one tonight of what the failure looks like. its weird how the wear pattern is sort of offset. Maybe the casing it catching on the side of the barrel?
what could be causing the partial feed?
