Muddocktor, I am truly disappointed that your Victory isn't running well yet. I examined the photo provided by Denton Dog showing the ejector modification that he says will correct the problem, and then compared it to my pistol. It's hard for me to see the difference, I'm not saying that the fix won't work, just saying it's hard for me to tell the change or difference. I know that it is super frustrating to buy a new pistol and have consistent problems with it, especially when others report having great results with the same pistol. I hope you will continue to keep us updated on what you choose to do and the results. Wishing you the best with your Victory and hope that you get it figured out.
