Yeah, I believe the spring is the next step. The chamber is smooth and almost on the large side (like I said above, a cartridge will slide in an out by its own weight) and the problem seems to be occuring long before it seats in the chamber. I have done the "fingernail test" on the feed ramp without finding any burrs.
The movement seems to be rougher right as the cartridge exits the magazine, but this is what I see when I'm slowly lowering the toggle by hand so it's really not representative to what happens when you shoot. Its not any worse than I have seen in other pistols, and I hate to do irreversible things like feed ramp jobs anyway. Some more spring tension should hopefully do the trick.
