Good news:
I bought mine several months ago for use in speed steel matches. Major issues with extraction, double feeds, and bending live rounds. All with even quality ammo. Sent it in for factory service to no avail. I was very hesitant to bend any interior parts.

I fixed the FTE issue by installing a Volquartzen ejector. $16.00 plus shipping. It will now eat even old garbage lead hollowpoints. Ureka! Worth every penny.

Additionally, I saw a post about fixing the upper frame screw loosening issue. The simple fix is a common rubber O ring from the local hardware store. Just take the screw down for proper sizing.

Now not embarrassed to shoot matches with it. Runs great.

I also have several accessory mods from Tandemkross. They are great to work with.

Next mods are Tandemkross target trigger and then trying to find a decent fast draw holster. (oh, no one makes them yet)

Hope this helps.........
