FWIW, my standard test for feed reliability is to load a magazine one round short of capacity and lock it into the gun with the recoil system removed, but otherwise assembled as usual...Pull the slide all the way to the rear, and push the slide to battery semi-briskly with my finger against the back of the slide.
If I have to push so hard that the first distal joint hyper-extends a little too much...I'm not happy with it and will keep working with the gun until it will
feed and go to battery under finger pressure. Jammer's top end passed this test on my frame perfectly. The barrel is sitting higher in the saddle
on his frame, and the feeding round is entering the throat at a steeper angle.
