The Story:
I've had my TM 1911 for around 4 seasons now and the plastic slide was getting beat up and worn down. It was still functioning wonderfully as TM is known to do but it was a bit of a gas hog. I was aware that if I installed a full metal kit it would get even less shots off then usual but I didn't realize it would be cut down by this much. After installing the kit the shots i was able to get off on a magazine full of gas went from around 20 to 7. Yes, that's right, 7. Now I enjoy realism but this is not practical at all for APSC or even pistol games. Is there anyway to fix this crazy of gas consumption?

Note: I also should have added that It has a 150% spring installed which I realize would knock the gas consumption way up but if I put the other spring in I'm afraid the pistol won't cycle correctly. Any one have any ideas?
