Ejection issues with my new SAR9

Just in case I've also contacted Wolff Springs about the possible use of the Glock 17 14 pound spring/piston set in the SAR9.
I've thought about getting a lighter spring for shooting lightly-loaded 100gr 9mm ammo and I've thought about getting a heavier spring for shooting 147gr +P but I am betting that after a few boxes of 124gr NATO ammo your gun will start to cycle most 115gr ammo. Some 115gr ammo has less than 335 ft-lb of muzzle energy, and that's pretty weak. I just wouldn't fire that stuff. Your typical Winchester White Box is going to have around 360 ft-lb of muzzle energy and I think your gun will be able to cycle it once you get some 124gr NATO through it..

It’s nearly 2 months since I wrote that and prices have fluctuated. Had I written it 3 years ago it would have been about $9/box. Call bs all you want or look at dates on posts and reply in real time.

I bought a Canik TP9v2 after shooting a friend's TP9. His gun didn't like the super cheap 115gr stuff much at all, but my gun, not much changed from his, ate it from the start without issues. The only issue I've ever had with it is the mag release seemed to stick when pressed in sometimes. A little time spent shoving the mags in and out of it solved that. While it's probably my next gun to sell off, it's a great shooter, I just don''t like striker guns much. Especially polymer ones.
Is it because he doesn't gush over every gun produced?
I never did get back to everyone on this. The last time I took it out I fired nothing but 9mm NATO (124 grain) and it functioned flawlessly, unfortunately I haven't been back to the range since. SAR USA told me to keep checking for when the lowered power spring is available. Wolff Springs said they didn't know if the Glock 17 14 pound spring/piston set would work and (of course) recommended against it without checking with SAR USA first.........
Galloway Precision has the spring set and the spring/piston set for the SAR9 but I'm going to stick with it being stock for now. Besides it's still the most comfortable handgun I have ever held, fits my hand like a glove.
