[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2884166, member: 423"] If the OP bought the gun used, and the spring had been shortened by the previous owner*, shooting a lot of full power loads will batter the frame and slide. If done so, that is the weakest, well, most stress prone, point on the slide from a hard stop. So, OP, was the gun new? If not new, have you replaced the recoil spring? How was recoil with the gun? Did it seem like there was a hard slam at the rearward extent of slide motion? *a really BAAAD way of reducing spring pressure for lighter loads - if you want to shoot light loads, buy a lighter spring [/QUOTE]
