Besides, an oversized firing pin stop will not hurt, it can only help reliable ejection.
It sounds like the extractor is a little loose.thump_rrr -
Don't know if you were responding to me....
....but I tried what you suggested.
One at a time, I tried three different sized, belled, primed Federal cases with no powder nor bullet and had to shake hard for a few seconds to eventually get each one them to shake loose.
Three cases with bullets and powder were easy to shake out if the slide was upside down (they easily fell out of the ejection port), but it took a couple of shakes to get them to fall out if the slide was right-side up (they were more difficult to shake out toward the magazine-side of the slide).
Per other posts, it appears to me that my extractor is adjusted fairly close to normal specifications.
By the way, the new recoil spring that I ordered came this afternoon and I just installed it. It is "stock" weight but feels much heavier than the original spring after over 2000 rounds. I'll do an ops test in the morning.
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
