One factor I don't think was mentioned is slide velocity.
These micro guns necessarily have slides that move fast and with a short amount of travel necessitated by the small size.
If a magazine spring is cut off or too weak, the spring simply can't raise the next round up into the feed lips in time to allow the slide to catch and feed the round.
This will usually be indicated by the slide closing on an empty chamber, or by various mis-feed problems.
These tiny autos are operating right on the edge of what's possible. What you can get away with in a larger gun just doesn't work in a small design.
I can assure you that Justin Moon and his engineers have investigated and tested the magazine extensively, and if they could offer the owner a gun with one more round of ammo by shorting a spring, they certainly would have.
