I thought it was too strong a spring problem at first, but I'm convinced the spring is too weak and with minimal wear the issues can show up. I'm also convinced the mag well allows too much movement of the magazine near the slide. The combination is the problem. The feed lips and followers may also be a problem, but I think the first items I mentioned are the real cause. Design flaw is believable.
