GOOD NEWS!!
After 100 rounds through the .45 (and 150 through the .380... hehehe), I only had 5 jams... haha that sounds bad, but it's good to me because - two were fail-two-extract and three were ride-over-feed where the end of the bullet would stick into the top of the chamber almost straight up - and all three of those were last-round jams! I've never ever had those fail-to-extract jams before, but I have a feeling it's only a small bump in the road and I'm almost there anyways.
It seems as if my dimpleless magazine cured the not-going-horizontal jams, but I still think I need some more new magazines with stronger springs AND a dimple. I think I'll have to put my extractor just a little bit tighter again. The only time there were fail-to-extracts when my friend who was new to firearms was shooting it, so there might have been some limp wristing or failing to load the magazines all the way to the back...? I wasn't there when he loaded it so I'm not sure on this one - either way I'll tighten up the extractor a bit or just buy a better one.
The half-as-expensive FireStorm didn't have a single problem other than shooting out strings of winclean faster than I could pay for them!! hahah That little thing is fun, I recomend them highly.
