Been considering the swapping idea. I have done a fluff n' buff on the offending gun, and handcycled the slide 500 times.
For now, I'm waiting on the replacement spring; once it's in hand, we'll see what happens.
Before swapping anything, I've been thinking about how to make sure things get back where they belong. Unhappily, the malfs don't happen every time, and there's a limit to how much time and ammunition to waste.
The problem gun is finally good enough for practice.
Thanks,
Moon
