John may be right on the weak ammunition, I was reading on the forum and G. van Vlimmeren suggested the use of tape on the rear of a frame to check for over travel, I had forgotten all about this method, but it could be used to help you resolve your problem too. If the tape is not indented then your toggle is not fully retracting, poor ammunition or binding, if on the other hand it is indented then you need to look at the ejector or maybe the extractor in that order.

-Paper torn: Spring too weak/ load to powerful
-Paper dented: All is fine.
-Paper not touched or hardly touched: Spring too strong / load to weak.

Hope you donÃ¢??t mind me using your ideas G. Van, I had forgotten all about that luger trick and was happy to be reminded of it again.
