Ammo is another variable, and your pistol may just "like" another brand or format. Don't use +P or NATO spec.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

I'll try some other ammo as well as the springs, which I've ordered from the US; a rather tedious process due to the fact that these 4 springs costing approx.US$9.00 are considered "restricted exports" by US Customs....

Thanks & best,
