and finally it comes out, Brian's own SV...
I am currently using the Guarder spring, and I am also not getting full cycle out of the slide. It CAN do it, but I basically have to give it a generous amount of silicone oil on the slide, the spring guide, and basically all the moving parts....It shoots plenty hard, just not locking back on empty.....
How is your front sarration lining up with the frame? Mine is off by like 1-2mm with the slide sitting further forward...not sure whats the cause....and is your beavertail pinned? or is it just stuck? I think SD and Nova parts really don't like eachother....I had lots of trouble with my 1911 too with the SD barrel and Nova slide....
