Extra step in chamber: Has anyone seen this before?

OK, numerous Advil later and ignoring the pain, I installed the 36 pound spring. I noticed right away that it was much longer than the original (actually probably not original), and had more coils. The one that came in the gun had 17 I think, so it probably had been modified.

Once the new spring was in the gun I noticed a very significant difference. It is much stronger. So it probably will solve the problem completely. I will test tomorrow morning, assuming I can get out of bed. I've got my shooting kit stocked with a variety of 9mm ammo. I just hope my handloads will even cycle the action.
