Anyway, I don't understand how a strong ammo can break the hold open, because if the ammo is strong and the recoil spring is old and weak, the velocity of the breech going to the front, to hit the hold open couldn't be bigger than with a weak ammo and /or a strong recoil spring, don't you think?

If my logic is correct, the break has no relation with the ammo nor the weak spring but maybe weak or defective HO
In some 20 odd years I've seen some 4 holdopen fail. So they do break. I've used Geco ammo and I don't think they are too stong. At least not compared to our old INDEP ammo.

I genereally remove the holdopen when shooting matches, just to be on the safe side.

About selling my #24.
